Bipolar Medications and Mood Cycling
Bipolar medications help stabilize those with bipolar disorder. This disorder is basically characterized by cycling mood changes. A person goes through phases of severe depression (lows) that alternate with feelings of extreme excitement (highs). When you are experiencing the manic phase of the disorder (highs), you will exude high energy, feel very elated and take on unrealistic projects, go on spending sprees or quickly shift from one thought to another. Depression (lows) will result in sadness, feelings of guilt, hopelessness, insomnia, poor eating habits and even suicide. The introduction of bipolar medications can help stabilize the disorder and help eliminate its emotional effects.
Bipolar Medications
Bipolar medications are used to help balance the mood swings. Whether in the manic or depressive phase, consistency is the goal. Listed below are three of the bipolar medications most commonly used to treat bipolar disorder:
- Depakote ( divalproex )
- Lithium ( lithonate )
- Tegretol ( carbamazepine )
Abuse of Prescribed Bipolar Medications
Many individuals suffering from bipolar disorder may turn to drugs or alcohol as self-medicating bipolar medications in order to better cope with the illness. Bipolar disorder may cause depression, which can be controlled through the use of various substances. The over use of bipolar medications, however, can cause dependency and a possible drug addiction, which requires immediate treatment.
