Hi.
I would like to be informed about a few things regarding mania an certain medications:- Does stimulants that works on the NA/DA system, (Ritalin, Wellbrutin) constitute an absolute or relative contradiction for mania? Does it depend on the type of mania?
Can they aggravate or trigger a manic condition?- In general, what type of medication should be avoided in mania?

SSRI's are not good. You're knowledge is above my head so I'll leave to rest to others and good luck. Phillipa

Not at all. In fact, i've been reading a lot of stuff which indicates that SSRIs *may* trigger or aggravate hypomania. Some TCAs too.

In my (limited) experience SSRIs (and serotonin precursors) antagonise hypomania.
