She's now on fluoxetine(the only anti depressant that should be given to bipolar individuals)

Her cocktail of the last 10 months consist of

AM.. Fluoxetine.. Lamotrigine.. Lithium
PM Latuda.. Lithium.

She's now stable and functional.


Never ??? No I’m sorry I must point out that this is False.

Not every person will have a bad response to an AD and go hypo/Manic ....It can be life saver for so many people.

I’m sorry your wife’s response was terrible but Everyone reacts differently I’m glad she has found a combination that is working well for her.
