In reply to can RITALIN stop mania?, posted by bipolarspectrum on June 12, 2006, at 16:23:29
yes, well i cant really say, it when i was on it.
It totally made me a freaking zombie, tuned out alot of emotion.
But if your having mania, which i have, it does seem to "halt" it from increasing because i have read methylphenidate has something to do with dopamine resting levels. Now a high dose, hell yes. That would induce mania bye. Lower doses for some reason i have read they cause dopmaine levels to lower, well the resting levels.
thats my well thought.
