Im a poor metabolizer of ssris however when given normal doses of ssir i experience restlessness. some doctors are saying its bipolar disorder but thats the only symptom i experience. is it more likely sertoin syndrome. i did fine on 10mg lexparo?

If your symptoms are under control with just a small dose of Lexapro, you should discuss and request that dose with your doctor. Restlessness alone is not typical for serotonin syndrome but as a doctor when I prescribe medication for controlling the symptoms I always try to use the lowest effective dose in order to alleviate the adverse effects.

Your medication should be managed by a Psychiatrist who understands your medical and psychological history. If you are not confident in your Doctor please see another for a second opinion. Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help.
