E] This is a tough one..I think Levodopa can cause depression not mania..

Cortisone can cause euphoria and is one of the D/D of mania; and methylphenidate is a psychostimulant. smiling face

I am puzzled but I "googled" the side effects of each drug and the only one without mania was phenelzine!

Do you have an answer?
