One symptom of bipolar that Im absolutely unaware that I run risks with is casual use of drugs and alchohol. I just don’t seem to go down this route at all. In fact I don’t drink alchohol hardly at all because of possible side effects with my medications and the fact that I have really experienced:-
Sometimes, people suffering from bipolar disorder will turn to drugs and alcohol. Careless use of these substances may be a warning sign of deeper issues. Worse still, illicit drugs and excessive alcohol consumption have both been shown to further destabilize the sufferers mood, which just makes the condition’s symptoms all that much worse. Drugs and alcohol are also known to increase the sufferers anxiety that can accompany hypomania. It’s then fairly obvious that most treatment programs stress to patients that they must limit or eliminate alcohol consumption and avoid street drugs altogether.
