[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 67773, member: 1498"] He could have had antidepressant induced bipolar. Usually withdrawal from the antidepressant is the cure though chronic withdrawal can last months, as you probably learned if you did any research about Effexor withdrawal. (Yes, along with Paxil, it is considered the worst to withdraw from.) Or he could have bipolar which was made worse by the antidepressant. by the way, Risperdal is not a mood stabilizer nor are any of the antipsychotic (aka "major tranquilziers"). It is approved for the treatment of, among other things, manic episodes of bipolar but it is not a long term maintenance treat to prevent or reduce the number of swings into mania and depression. Mood stabilizers are lithium, Depakote, Lamictal and Tegretol. ETA: I didn't mean to repeat what smallword said. For some reason her post wasn't visable when I first read the thread [/QUOTE]
