Drug-induced rapid cycling: possible outcomes and management

G Oppenheim. Am J Psychiatry. 1982 Jul.

Abstract

Rapid cycling of mood change induced by antidepressant drugs has recently emerged as a significant diagnostic and therapeutic problem. The author describes two additional cases. Cessation of treatment with the offending drug may leave the patient depressed, manic, or euthymic or in a state of continued rapid cycling. The author suggests an approach to management of this condition.
