 [ Symptoms ] what is bipolar depressive type is that a seperate type of bipolar or is that what a doctor calls a depressed episode  i was released from a psychiatric hospital and in my discharge papers the doctor had written bipolar depressive type i had never heard of that before i was wondering if a depressive type of bipolar actually exists and what that is is it a subtype of bipolar or did he maybe just not know what to diagnose me as  thank you [ Disease ] i was switched once from paxil to celexa previously i had also just discontinued paxil because i got pregnant my side effects of discontiuing paxil were flu like weakness dizziness just plain felt horrible after the baby was born my doctor wanted me to try celexa and i gave it a full month before i requested he put me back on the paxil remember i had not been taking any ssri or ssnri type medication for almost a year while i was pregnant the celexa also made me very drowsy and lethargic in the afternoon making it difficult to care for my newborn after starting back on paxil i had absolutely no side effects and have been on paxil since then i do not think each person has the same brain chemistry some may do better on one and another may do worse i only referred to myself i hope you and your doctor are able to figure out what is best for you take care
