Prozac and bipolar meds? Bad or good?

I am diagnosed as bipolar and I take Lamictal for mood stabilization. Since the Lamictal can bring me down, I take Prozac as well. In mixing the two of them together, I find that they each compliment the other very nicely. The Lamictal keeps me even, and the Prozac keeps my baseline happiness level where it should be. I also take Ativan (a benzodiazepine) for those moments when I am losing control and need an instant "chill pill". If I were you, I would talk to your doctor about trying this combination, or one close to it. I know not all people are the same and there are so many variables... but, this concoction took me a year to figure out and you have the bipolar, depression, and anxiety that these meds are targeted to help. I think it's worth a try at it, especially if what you are doing now isn't helping.

I take the exact same thing, because I have Bipolar II and OCD, but I take Ativan every night so that I can sleep.

Everyone is different, but from what I've read taking an antidepressant alone can be dangerous for peeps with bipolar disorder.  If you are having trouble, it's not working for you.

Talk to your doctor about adding a mood stabilizer.  And don't just drop the Prozac without a doctor's supervision, it can make for a wild ride to suddenly stop it.

Take care!
