Hi MB --
I had the same strange reactions to meds for years. Finally, about 2 months ago, my pdoc diagnosed me as Bipolar II. I think your hunch may be right ... I'm actually very relieved to have that diagnosis now, because I believe I'm receiving treatment that is much better suited to me (Lamictal + Serzone). Things are looking up, little by little.
Take care,
cindy

> Wow! In reading this link I've almost come to the conclusion that I'm bipolar. SSRIs work *wonderfully* the first few days (as long as I have a sedative like a benzo or alcohol to mitigate agitation) but then they poop out after about a week to two weeks. No dose increase helps...even if I stay on the SSRI for years. Hmmm...
