Diagnosis of BP II after AD-induced Mania

Posted by Taylor123 on May 12, 2003, at 13:42:23

Hey all, Hope everything is going well for you.
After a long battle with depression, I was started on Effexor (now well on 225mg and 600mg Lithium)But when I started it, I became hypomanic. I believe this to be a "side-effect" of the drug, as opposed to a latent illness that was provoked by the drug.
Does anyone have any opinion about diagnosing BP II disorder on the basis of AD-induced hypomania?
I know that the DSM V criteria says that AD-induced mania must be EXCLUDED, so why then have I been given that diagnosis?
Thanks all
Take care
