Lexapro-instant mania, instant discontinuation (prior to BP dx)
Prozac- Instant mania, instant discontinuation (while also on seroquel)
Effexor-rapid cycling. Like, 5 hospitalizations in five months rapid cycling. (Also a bytch to come off)
Cymbalta-didn't work, maybe caused a headache?
Trazodone-only used for sleep, but I wasn't sleeping because of mania, so...no
Mirtazapine- fk mirtazapine. Yeah, can't be killing yourself because your hands are too busy shoving food down your mouth
Wellbutrin- also instant mania, also instant discontinuation (I was on other antimanics I just don't remember what/which ones)
Doxepin-the only thing it did was make me set a timer at night
Amoxapine-I think my heart almost exploded on this one, but it worked pretty well and I don't think I had any other side effects
