> thanks, scott, for your response! i'm actually on two mood stabilizers, lithium and lamictal. i don't know why the SSRIs induce that sort of mania, anyway. zoloft helps and is tolerable, but the other SSRIs plopped me off the deep end. thanks!

Neither lithium nor Lamictal are very effective to treat mania in bipolar II. It would be better that you be on either Depakote or Zyprexa if you find it desireable to use higher dosages of SSRI. I haven't witnessed first hand how effective Tegretol or Trileptal are as antimanic agents, but they do represent alternatives.
