> Hi, I was diagnosed as bipolar after taking lexapro for about 3 months. I felt great for those three months and then started becoming manic. I've heard of people taking an SRI for a lot longer than that before causing mania.
Well, I was on zoloft for a few years as teen for OCD. I don't remember any violent manic episodes during that time period. Before starting the zoloft again for depression, I was put on prozac. This caused intense anxiety and perhaps hypomania to some degree. I have yet to experience these side effects on zoloft (then again, I also have yet to see much of an improvement).
