Have you ever been thrown into a severe manic episode because of an antidepressant like Prozac? What about psychosis? Were you on a mood stabilizer at the time? How certain are you that the ssri caused it and not something else? How bad was your psychosis/mania and how long did it last?

For me, I took Prozac and became severely manic, which led to a lot of bad things, and ended in a 10/10 worse psychosis ever. Lasted 3 weeks and I ended up in jail, with essentially full blown schizophrenia for the time being. I've never had psychosis before that, and am completely fine now that I'm off it and on lithium. Stress was also a big factor. Being manic lead me to do mushrooms which probably had an impact. I was smoking weed daily as well, but I had already been doing that for the previous 5 years with no problems until I started taking Prozac, yet the doctors still insist it was "cannabis induced psychosis" and had nothing to do with the Prozac.....
