What do you mean "SSRIs can be effective as mood stabilizers."? If you are starting to get your "mood reactivity" back does that mean celexa was keeping you too stable? What did your dr. say?

my doc mentioned that serotonin RI provided mood stability while NE RI caused cycling ... i didn't believe him, cuz at the time no one else here seemed to know anything about it
