Hello,

I've been feeling depressed and have a lot of anxiety and my psychiatrist suggested taking an SSRI with my meds (Latuda, Lamitcal) like Prozac or Zoloft. I have read that it can cause mania....I really want to lift my mood but I don't know if the benefit is worth the risk of mania/psychosis. I would like a "balanced/normal" state. What is your experience of taking an SSRI? Did it push you into mania/psychosis? I have to admit, I would love to a have a little boost/ or high in my mood but just the right amount.
