has your bipolar ever been triggered by SSRIs?
before i was diagnosed i had a year long manic episode. i wasnt sleeping, i was extremely hypersexual, i was binge drinking all by myself EVERY night, and i was just overall super self destructive
about a year before i was diagnosed i was put on an SSRI by my pcp. i know antidepressant’s can trigger mania
i only took the pills for a few days before stopping it on my own (i know very not good). but i keep wondering if the anti depressant triggered the mania or if it was just when i started showing symptoms (or both?)
has this ever happened to anyone else? i know a lot of people with bipolar can get misdiagnosed as unipolar depression
mods- im sorry if this is against the rules
