In reply to Does SSRI's CAUSE BIPOLAR SYPTOM OR SHOWS YOU HAVE, posted by tboybmx on July 24, 2008, at 11:40:50
In some Bipolar people, SSRIs will cause manic-like symptoms or full-blown mania IF they are not on a mood stabilizer.
The SSRIs do not cause depression, but mania.
But, honestly, the literature shows that this is a RARE event and the doses have been fairly high. Now, it might happen more frequently in the general population, but I still think it is rare.
