It's funny because I'd been saying for years I had bipolar, but one of the reasons my pdoc refuted this was because I'd taken so many antidepressants over the years and never had a manic episode. The manic episode actually happened at a time when I was taking no meds at all. I don't think Celexa would be especially likely to cause mania, it's TCAs and other drugs that boost noradrenaline that carry the biggest risk. I've read of SSRIs actually being used as mood stabilizers in bipolar, but they're certainly not approved for this.
