I can only take a tiny bit of Celexa because anything even approaching a therapeutic dose has been known to make me manic. I'm on it only because the alternative is worse---I don't do well w/o an AD.

I notice a lot of folks here are on surprising amounts of anti-depressants. They must be the ones who don't get manic on those drugs. If I were taking 30 mg of Prozac or 300 mg of Effexor, you'd have to scrape me off the surface of the moon. So it's very light on the AD and heavier on the mood stabilizer and APs.
