I don't think that drug category *alone* can determine what is most likely to trigger hypomania or worsened cyling. I have had desipramine make me obviously hypomanic, while nortriptyline (at equiv. doses) did not. Remeron made me irritable, but Wellbutrin did not. Serzone didn't help with depression, but settled my agitation. Everyone is different and you can't *slam* any particular drug category.
