bipolar lithium alcohol
The lithium and alcohol?
What effect does alcohol have someone who is taking a prescribed dose of 300 mg twice daily lithium for bipolar disorder? Is this something to be avoided?
The fog is correct. Most psychiatrists tell patients with bipolar very moderate consumption that's fine. Med The compliance rate is only 50%, so he said, is counterproductive to patients not to drink at all. Everything is relative, too. Almost all medication effects internal organs. The prohibition of alcohol are not performed or is expected by society, if someone is taking an antibiotic for acne as an example. However, the "harm" is the same. When someone with bipolar is stable, not on psychotropic drugs. The medications restore normal acuity and regular operation. Unfortunately, when someone has a mental illness, the rules are based on the stigma as well as evidence of rationality and bearable. All I'm saying that a beer at the field day is fine, a six pack is not. PS – All that is backwards. PPL with mental disorders self-medicate with alcohol and street drugs. Alcoholism and drug addiction clearly causes serious problems, some bad enough to effect brain function, but not cause bipolar disorder. There is no credible research to support its claim.
