I took a lot of SSRIs before I was diagnosed with bipolar. They made my mood swings worse.

I was able to do genetic testing, and I found out I couldn't metabolize most of them. There are only three that I can take, but they're all expensive. I'm taking Viibryd now with Latuda, and it seems to help. I hope I can stay on it because it's a little sedating which lowers my akathisia as well.

Not all SSRIs are alike, plus there's other types of ADs. There's also a couple of mood stabilizers that help more with depression. It's worth talking to your pdoc about it.
