Abrupt discontinuation of some antidepressants can produce a mood-lift, but not always hypomania or hypomania. This phenomenon is thought to occur more often with TCA and MAOI. Abrupt discontinuation of these drugs can also trigger mania in vulnerable individuals. Whether or not this indicates a bipolar diathesis has been the subject of debate. I think Linkadge is of the opinion that this occurrence is not necessarily an indicator of a bipolar spectrum disorder. I tend to believe that it is.
It would be great if people who experience antidepressant-discontinuation induced mania would chime in.
