> Is this true, that antidepressants can trigger hypomania? This is the first I've heard about it. I was prescribed Zoloft when I was 17, and took it only a few months before stopping abruptly. My actions afterward are what I would consider manic.
Well, it happened to me! I didn't know enuf to taper slowly off of it (I was no longer seeing the pdoc who had prescribed it), and it certainly did not help at all for me to stop abruptly- very bad idea.
I stopped becuz I was starting to feel 'revved up', and did know enuf to suspect that the zoloft could be doing that to me.
I did take zoloft again a few years later after I had gotten settled in with mood stabilizers, and it was okay.
Good luck,
Cece
