Re: Do I need an SSRI?

I think after someone has been on an ssri for some time, longterm significant changes did happen in the nervous system. Sometimes returning to an ssri can restore the stability they had when on the ssri, but sometimes they discover things are more unstable than ever, and that the ssri is totally unlike before and totally intolerable compared to the first. It's almost as if the withdrawal of the ssri created new changes that are bizarre, and unable to reverse by simply restoring the ssri.

Just my opinions.

I think it makes sense to try the ssri again and see what happens. That is the first logical step. If it provided stability previously, it might again.

While many pdocs claim ssris are not good for bipolar, others say they are in fact good mood stabilizers. I believe they are good mood stabilizers, though they can destabilize things during the initial first days or weeks.

If it had not worked respectably for you previously, I would say no. But since it did, then yes.
