This BP 2 does.....or at least, I have a severe degree of hypomania. That's why I'm allowed only 10 mg Celexa, even when I'm in the middle of a depression; 20 mg switches me right into hypo/mania. In fact, pdoc doesn't like prescribing it for me at all, but we tried withdrawal last summer which sent me into such a nasty mixed episode that my family wanted to throw me out of the house! Good thing I'm the breadwinner or I'd probably have wound up on the street, LOL
