Hello, Leo, since your psychiatrist has ideas about your going into the hospital for treatment, he must have some reasons to think that your medications may need to be changes and that you might need some additional counseling. I'd follow his advice carefully, although you've been given some expert advice already on the forum from those who know how the SSRIs affected their well-being.

I'm surprised really to hear you say that bipolar illness never bothered you with its
ups and downs. It even makes me wonder if you might not have something else
going on, too, because some of the major symptoms of bipolar illness are the discomforts
we sustain because of the feeling tone that is part of the illness.

It's really best for you to be in the hospital and get it all properly diagnosed, treated,
and discussed so that you come out of the stay there with a good perspective on what you need to to do remain stable. That's the most important thing.

Hope you feel much better after the visit there. And please listen to the folks here
who advise you about slowly removing medications with doctors' approval only. They
been there and know what it can be like.

Take care of yourself.
