Phillipa my answer would be bipolar is a new monster,we are learning as we go,i mean we went from simple bipolar to now,bipolar 1,bipolar 2,rapid cycle bipolar,maniac bipolar,etc
Point is we have no set guidelines,were all as good as are docs are.Some docs attack bipolar one way,others antother,for example some docs now,least in my area wont to actualy remove any anti depressants at all in the treatment of bipolar,others might include a mood stablizer while again others a anti psyhotic.
While its possable stimulants etc can help induce a maniac episode,we cant be sure,i mean the same as a stimulant med can induce maniac phase so can life situations,i swear in arguments i can go from normal to 2000 of rage just due to what a certain person would say,they knew the right buttons to press the boil my blood like poion in my viens.
I dont personaly agree with not using anti depressants in bipolar,yess we want to watch and manage the mania associated with it,but we cant forget part of bi polar along with the mania is also severe depression.
Lets not be afraid to treat symptoms.I personaly experianced a maniac phase in me iniatise due to a med,a argument with someone,and also nothing at all,i.e playing with dog,then sobbing,then anger at one two three people then im in full anger mode.Its quite a disorder.
