Abstract
Rapid cycling of mood change induced by antidepressant drugs has recently emerged as a significant diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Two additional cases are described. Cessation of treatment with the offending drug may leave the patient depressed, manic or euthymic or in a state of continued rapid cycling. An approach is suggested to management of this condition.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
