Does Dogmatil Cause Acute Manic Episode?

Could Dogmatil induce a manic episode acutely? I ve been rx it for vertigo. In less than 24 hrs, my vertigo is almost gone and I feel cheerful, but NOT like I m in methamphetamine. I ve been diagnosed with bipolar-II disorder and I ve felt fatigued and under treated for years. now I feel excited to enjoy the rest of my vacation in Spain here over the next week. I usually sleep way too much and have very low motivation. I m having insomnia right now, but I m not tired and I ve been sleeping for nearly a week due to vertigo

Hi,

We're just not going to know. It is used FOR manic episodes so certainly those on it have them but it is approved because in clinical trials most people had less problems with manic episodes on the medication than if not on it.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
