I'm not finding much on drug-induced bipolar, only manic episodes and the articles don't specify if the mania continues after quitting the medication. If that is what you mean, can you link me an article?

I've never heard of a med causing bipolar, but SSRI's or SNRI's taken alone will bring on a hypo/manic episode. It's happened to me three times-- before I was correctly diagnosed.
