Can zoloft (sertraline) trigger manic episodes?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
If a person : Has mani depression and appears to be only depressed, antidepressant can trigger manic episodes. If you or someone you know is on an antidepressant and seems to become manic, see a psychiatrist ASAP. They need to reevaluate the medication and the diagnosis.
