[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 14216, member: 2423"] MWM, you are right that atypical antipsychotics aren't mood stabilizers, but as I said in my post, they have mood-stabilizing properties (there's a difference). I agree that SSRIs can be scary -- my own son had a prolonged intense manic reaction to Prozac -- but sometimes there are no other options. When easy child wouldn't eat at all because she was afraid she would choke, we had no choice but to use an SSRI to help conquer her completely irrational fears (all the psychiatrists consulting on her case said there were no alternatives). In her case, Prozac helped her start eating again, and yes, we and her psychiatrist watch her very carefully for bad medication reactions. [/QUOTE]
