Suggest Treatment For Withdrawal Symptoms Of Amphetamine Salts
Question: I have Bipolar Disorder, Mixed State. I am receiving ECT and I was prior to ECT being treated with Amphetamine Salts but not taking the drug since I am receiving ECT. However, for three days I took Amphetamine Salts and not today. I now have tightness in my jaw muscles, and other body muscles, also. I have difficulty sitting still and am rocking in place while watching a movie. Is this to be expected and will it clear up quickly?
