are medications supposed?
Question:
Answers:
Yes. If you continue to take them.
While antidepressants are typically not prescribed alone for the treatment of manic depression, they are often prescribed in conjunction with another bipolar medication, typically a mood stabilizer, to help manage depressive episodes.
Mood Stabilizers
One mood stabilizing bipolar medication, lithium, is usually very effective in controlling mania and preventing the occurrence of both manic and depressive episodes. Exactly how lithium works is unknown. Lithium should not be used in cases of severe cardiovascular disease, renal disease, or brain damage. It also shouldn't be used when evidence of severe debilitation, dehydration or sodium depletion exists.
