In reply to Is there an AD that doesn't bring on mania?, posted by AWorriedMom on May 11, 2003, at 18:46:17
> Has anyone had good experience with an AD that didn't swing a BP into a manic phase? Is there such a thing? My daughter (16) was put on prozac and later on lexapro to counter the depression which is horrible. But, had to discontinue each time due to mania returning. Thanks
Wellbutrin (bupropion) seems to be less apt to cause mania than other antidepressants, and is often chosen first when treating bipolar depression. It might make sense to be on Depakote to help as a mood stabilizer.
