Yup, I do believe it has done the same thing for me.

I haven't gone to a psychiatrist yet. When I got insurance again a year ago and told my new doctor that I had been diagnosed bipolar about 20 years ago, she put me on Celexa. I spent a rollercoaster year on it. Then she added Amitriptyline. I couldn't sleep. She changed it to Abilify a couple of weeks ago.

Now I'm taking Celexa in the morning and Abilify at night and feeling quite manic.

I've got an appointment to see a psychologist next week, so I'm working toward getting in to see a psychiatrist to work with the psychologist and get me straightened out.

Why do MDs think it's OK to put a bipolar person on an anti-depressant?
