ADs given to a bipolar-1 has the potential of inducing mania. Without the aid of mood stabilizers to stop a manic episode, some bipolar-1s become psychotic. I know this very personally. Prozac causes serotonin surges in me. This drug taken alone caused my treatment resistive rapid cycling that is still plaguing me and also, psychotic mania that landed me in the state hospital where techs terrorized me for days.
See a pdoc before taking ADs. Do not go to your GP for ADs unless you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that you are NOT bipolar!> I recently heard of an article published on visual hallucinations associated with fluoxetine and sertraline. Any comments?
