Trazodone-induced mania

Br J Psychiatry. 1986 Dec:149:787-9. doi: 10.1192/bjp.149.6.787.

Abstract

Two bipolar depressed patients and one unipolar depressed patient developed manic symptoms after receiving trazodone. The symptoms resolved when the treatment was discontinued or reduced. We believe the two bipolar patients are the first cases of this reaction reported in the literature.
