Thanks for the info Morgan....it is something to keep in mind. I do think he was afraid to put me on SSRI's because I have been swinging abit and maybe because my reaction to Adderall is so extreme, it definitely throws me into mania/hypomania. It could be because my mom is on an SSRI and even though she is still taking it, I know it is not all that effective cause I'm living with her and see her everyday. Could be that he is taking into consideration my sister's history of reacting to different drugs as well. Who knows why this was his first lineup...I will ask him next time I talk with him though, just to at least find out his usual progression of trial/error.
We'll see how it goes, but if I do notice the signs you are talking about, at least I know about them and can 'hopefully' be mindful enough to notice and talk with him about it. I am glad to know of this, but I think I am also good at keeping an open mind...and I am soooo driven to get my life back on track that I am trying my best to maintain a good mind set that is as optimistic as possible while still being well-grounded in reality.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
