A member asked:
Can ssri such as setraline be used to treat cyclothymia as the only medication used?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No meds are approved by the Food and Drug Administration specifically for cyclothymia, but your doctor may prescribe meds used to treat bipolar disorder, which may help control cyclothymia symptoms and prevent periods of hypomanic and depressive symptoms. Psychotherapy is an important part of treating cyclothymia, in addition to meds. Please follow up with your psychiatrist to discuss options.
