OBJECTIVE
This study examined the risk of antidepressant-induced manic switch in patients with bipolar disorder treated either with antidepressant monotherapy or with an antidepressant in conjunction with a mood stabilizer.
METHOD
Using Swedish national registries, the authors identified 3,240 patients with bipolar disorder who started treatment with an antidepressant and had no antidepressant treatment during the previous year. Patients were categorized into those receiving antidepressant…

A large proportion of patients with BAD on antidepressants experience medication-induced manic or hypomanic switch, and there was no significant difference in the rate of MS in either those treated with adjunct antidepressants therapy with a mood stabiliser or an antipsychotic or those placed on a combination of antidepressants, antipsychotics and mood-stabilising agents.

Findings indicate that efforts to reduce treatment delay should especially target patients who are naïve to moodstabilizers and antipsychotics or diagnosed with BD during a brief hospitalization, and that combination therapies including lithium, valproate and quetiapine or olanzapine were associated with the lowest risks of treatment failure.

It is suggested that the risk of manic switch is especially prominent in the first months of AD use, and Antidepressants use in combining it with a mood stabilizers (MS) may not be adequate in preventing switches in shorter terms.

About one-quarter to one-third of bipolar patients may be inherently susceptible to antidepressant-induced manias, and bipolar patients with a strong genetic loading for bipolar illness whose initial illness begins in adolescence or young adulthood may be especially at risk.
