In reply to hypomania...reaction to antidepressants?, posted by madison88 on September 11, 2002, at 22:58:37
IMHO, people who experience mania on antidepressants are not truly bipolar. BUT, some docs will dx you as bipolar for having experienced them -- these same docs seem to enjoy putting everyone into the bipolar category. Bipolar is kind of a fashionable dx to give out right now; 100 years ago it was 'neurasthenia.' You're lucky that your dr. recognized what you were going through instead of slapping you with a label and a big ol' lithium dose.
