I think it is probably a lot less likely than with SSRI's. There are case reports of tryptophan producing antimanic effects in some bipolars. There are a few reports of lithium/tryptophan combinations. Apparently, lithium facilitates the uptake of tryptophan into the brain.

It could still happen though, as it did with blueberry.
