BUT when a patient experiences mania or hypomania from an
antidepressant, it is ABSOLUTELY INSANE to think they will not
experience it again on a different antidepressant! He and his family
had better hold their breaths!

In words never intended for public consumption, Tannin wrote of his
worries about becoming dependant on an antidepressant, Wellbutrin, and a stress
medication, Lorazapan, to cope with concern about the performance of his
fund. He expressed satisfaction at earning close to $2m (£1.3m) in a
year but alluded to a “religious crisis” and complained about “schlepping the
kids around from place to place” during a holiday in London.

My first psychiatric diagnosis was major depression, and my first psychiatric medication was Prozac. It was prescribed by my GP, not by a psychiatrist. I had a one-week follow-up visit, and then I was turned loose. It takes hindsight to see that what I thought was “normal” behavior in response to Prozac was in fact at least mild hypomania. Someone even called me “the poster child for Prozac.” This was in 1994, and I wasn’t diagnosed with bipolar disorder until 1999, after another antidepressant did a similar thing.
