A case of mania associated with fluoxetine

Am J Psychiatry. 1984 Feb;141(2):280-1. doi: 10.1176/ajp.141.2.280.

Abstract

A depressed woman with no history of bipolar illness developed a manic episode during treatment with fluoxetine. This side effect appears to be a universal property of effective antidepressants, including this new, purely serotonergic agent.
