<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I am a 55 year old man 6 weeks ago I was hospitalized. I was comatose for about 3weeks. I am mentaly ill. The medicines I was on are prolixon decanoate,lithium,cogentin, wellbutrin. I am now on all but the wellbutrin. I am contemplateing trying another antidepressant. Would a tricyclic be safe? SSRIs are not recomended.  <response>: Hi there I understand your concerns. I however do not know why you were hospitalized. Assuming that the medication prescribed are for bipolar disorder, trying another antidepressant may not be safe if not under medical supervision. I also wonder why SSRIs are not recommended. If you can see a psychiatrist to explain these issues that would be great, otherwise there are many other mood stabilizers that can be used effectively without giving you the side effects of the tricyclics. I hope you understand. Take care and have a lovely day!
