[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 147688, member: 1498"] Couple of things..... Long term chronic use of stimulants (amphetamines/amphetimine-like drugs) can in and of itself cause depression. Nightly rebound is really daily withdrawal from the stimulant. When people use the drugs recreationally they generally use alcohol or pot to take the edge off. When the drugs are presribed, antipsychotics are often prescribed to take the edge off or allow the person to sleep. Anti-depressants which are usually prescribed to treat depression can cause mania, move swings, anxiety, anger, aggression, hostility, suicidal/homicidal thoughts and disinhibition. That disinhibition is often most obvious in sexual contexts. These side effects can occur regardless of any disorder that may be present. There is a form of bipolar called "anti-depressant induced mania/bipolar" and is [I]caused[/I] by the antidepressant. Treatment is discontinuation of the antidepressant and time for the brain to heal. These side effects can occur at anytime but commonly show up either within the first two weeks or slowly starting after taking the drug about three months. [/QUOTE]
