Summary

A 24-year-old man with bipolar disorder who was started on quetiapine as an adjunct to valproate (mood stabiliser) after a depressive episode switched to a manic episode while on the drug. The manic episode resolved following the withdrawal of quetiapine. This case illustrates the rare possibility of quetiapine emergent manic episode which a clinician needs to be aware of in the context of the management of bipolar disorders.
