If the only incidence of psychosis was in reaction to a single drug, then you need to question that diagnosis.Did you read the answers to my questions that Lamdage22 was generous enough to provide? Psychosis (mania?) emerges several times as a reaction to Nardil and Parnate.
One of the qualifiers for a diagnosis of bipolar disorder is that a manic episode triggered by an antidepressant must persist beyond its discontinuation. Although Lamdage22's manias persisted for several months, I neglected to ask whether or not the antidepressant was immediately discontinued once the psychosis emerged.

How slow?
