TLDR
The rate of treatment-emergent switch into mania has been calculated from all available clinical trial data on the selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetines, and sertraline, relative to comparative groups treated with tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) or placebo.
Abstract
The rate of treatment-emergent switch into mania has been calculated from all available clinical trial data on the selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, and sertraline, relative to comparative groups treated with tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) or placebo. In predominantly unipolar depressives, the rate of manic switch is less than 1% and differences between drugs and placebo are statistically but not clinically significant. In bipolar depressives, manic switch occurs substantially more often with TCAs (11.2%) than with SSRIs (3.7%) or placebo (4.2%).

Incidence de virages maniaques chez les patients bipolaires hospitalisés traités avec des antidépresseurs

TL;DR: A retrospective descriptive study based on a review of 100 files of patients hospitalized for an episode of depression related to bipolar disorder at the Centre hospitalier de l'Universite Laval and treated with antidepressants from November 2001 to October 2007 as mentioned in this paper suggests that taking antidepressants such as paroxetine, venlafaxine, citalopram, and mirtazapine is associated with an increased risk of manic episodes.

Can antidepressants cause mania and worsen the course of affective illness

TL;DR: There appear to be no placebo-controlled studies of switches into mania in bipolar patients during antidepressant treatment, and the available evidence suggests that some bipolar patients become manic, and a few experience rapid cycling, when they are treated with antidepressants.

The induction of mania. A natural history study with controls.

TL;DR: The rate of induction of mania by TCAs is not greater than what one would expect from the natural history of the illness itself, and lithium carbonate and neuroleptic treatment, as expected, significantly prevented the induction ofMania.

A case of mania associated with fluoxetine.

TL;DR: A depressed woman with no history of bipolar illness developed a manic episode during treatment with fluoxetine, and this side effect appears to be a universal property of effective antidepressants, including this new, purely serotonergic agent.
