mania bipolar disorder
Medications that can cause mania in Bipolar disorder?
What medications can cause you to go on a ‘high’ in Bipolar disorder? Or at least make you more hyper.
Any anti-depressants, if prescribed alone can and commonly do cause people with bi-polar to become high/manic. They treat the lows but only make the highs worse and induce them. Because of this psychiatrists don’t normally prescribe anti-depressants alone to a person who has a diagnosis of bi-polar. Anti-depressants are prescribed alongside a mood stabaliser often. I’ve come accross people whose bi-polar has been managed drug-wise only be an anti-psychotic too to take the edge off the disorted thinking.
