I was reading about a study in San Antonio, where they are going to use Celebrex to attempt to treat bipolar. Has anyone heard of this? tried this? Weird to me, its like a "longshot" the say, but I read something interesting :
Soares, co-editor of the international journal Bipolar Disorders, finds good reason to believe Celebrex will work. Inflammation in the body, as seen with arthritis, is related to increased levels of proteins called prostaglandins. With depression and bipolar disorder as well, levels of prostaglandin are abnormal over time. Giving patients Celebrex, which inhibits its production, may help.
Any thoughts? :)
