Take her to a competent psychiatrist, maybe one that practices in a hospital. I've never come across a symptom/side-effect profile like that before. But at least some of them (I am not a psychiatrist etc. etc.) hint at bipolar disorder.

One of the (unfortunately common) ways people learn that they have bipolar is by being mis-diagnosed with unipolar depression, being prescribed SSRIs, and suddenly finding themselves experiencing 'dysphoric mania'. Not the "everything's great, let's have sex with random strangers" type, but rather the "let's destroy every piece of furniture in the house" type.

But I don't know your situation other than what you've described, and I'm definitely not qualified to tell you what to do. The best I think you can do is to get a second opinion from a competent psychiatrist.

This is an excellent comment.

The "let's destroy every piece of furniture in the house" is exactly what happened with one of my parents, it's not a fun thing to witness but they eventually got the bipolar under control with lithium but the toxicity on that stuff is pretty horrible, regular blood tests for the rest of your life horrible.

Interesting. I haven't looked into bipolar before.
