I don't know the chemistry either I only know from experience that when I was put on an antidepressant, which can be stimulating...I went manic...and I was already on a mood stabilizer. The only anti depressant I would ever consider is welbutrin at half a dose, have taken that before safely staying sane. But I am bipolar 1 so I have to really be careful. I recently became manic/hypo manic when obcessing over my face and losing weight. It is easy for me to obcess over things. And hard to tell what came first the mania or the obcession. I think/know that they are evil sisters....bizi
