[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 18581, member: 1498"] There are a number of other types of antidepressants and some that don't fit any types. Here's a list: [url="http://www.healthyplace.com/communities/depression/treatment/antidepressants/antidepressant_list.asp"]http://www.healthyplace.com/communities/depression/treatment/antidepressants/antidepressant_list.asp[/url] There are tricyclics. They are more effective but more dangerous than SSRIs with all the same possible side effects and more. The suicidal ideation is an issue because those drugs can be easily used to commit suicide while the SSRIs are very difficult to use that way. The initial studies on antidepressants triggering rapid cycling and the identification of antidepressant induced bipolar came through use of tricyclics, not SSRIs. The SNRI and SNRI/SSRI combos -- Effexor, Cymbalta, Strattera. MAOIs -- there are lots of conflicts with other drugs and a foods with that class of drugs. Abilify isn't a mood stabilizer. None of the antipsychotics are approved for stand alone long term maintenance for bipolar. Antidepressants can be used with Abilify but no antipsychotic or mood stabilizer will control the psychiatric adverse reactions to antidepressants. In Europe, the most common treatment for adult type bipolar is lithium and an antidepressant. However, they are much less likely to diagnose bipolar in children and are far less likely to prescribe antidepressant for children period. [/QUOTE]
