When I was discharged my Pdoc put me on Cipralex. What kind of side
effects go along with it?

It is Lexapro - an SSRI. As with all SSRI's, bipolar folks need to be extra careful.

It was almost as bad as zoloft producing mania in me. I can't tolerate SSRI's. Hopefully you will do better on it than I did.
