Abstract
Duloxetine was associated with a low incidence of treatment-emergent hypomania, mania, or hypomanic-like symptoms in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). The low incidence reported here may be due to greater diagnostic diligence on the part of the investigators. It is possible that the cases reported likely reflect inclusion of misdiagnosed bipolar II patients rather than true unipolar MDD cases. The effect of duloxetine in patients with bipolar depression is not known.
