<s>[INST] 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? SSRI's are not recomended. [/INST] 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! </s>
