Sometimes, stress can trigger mania. Once kindled, the mania might not resolve when the stress is removed.
I haven't had a manic reaction to antidepressants since adding Abilify in 2002.
What exactly are you taking?
If you didn't become manic until you added trazodone, perhaps you should discontinue it to evaluate its effects on you.
What appeals to you more?
1. Raise the dosage of lithium to 900 mg/day.
2. Add an anticonvulsant like Trileptal, Depakote, or Topamax.
3. Add an antipsychotic like Abilify or Saphris.
4. Discontinue antidepressants and increase Lamictal to 300 mg/day.
Some people do well on Wellbutrin + Abilify + Lamictal
