In reply to SSRI induced hypomania, posted by Spriggy on February 5, 2005, at 22:10:45
Hello,
>I now know it was indeed SSRI induced hypomania.
It's possible, don't be too sure though. Does your psychiatrist agree? SSRIs such as Lexapro sometimes cause anxiety, akathisia (restlessness) and agitation. These symptoms don't necessarily indicate mania or a mixed state. These side effects can occur both in people with bipolar disorder ....and in people without bipolar disorder.
Regards,
Ed.
