Yes it certainly could. Please be very careful, because the worst part is the "crash" after the hypo ends. My gawwdd, it ruined me so many times.
Please talk to your doctor about it asap, ok?

I think the hypomania trigger could be a factor-as people said, ssris can induce hypomania in people prone to it. Also, even when hypomania is not a factor, ssris can be disinhibiting (that is why they're effective for social phobia). But your symptoms sound a little hyppmanic (spending sprees, etc.)
