Should not if workin: Bipolar meds should help to keep your mood more stable, controlling manic episodes. If you are becoming manic on your medications, it is not working or the dose is too low. Talk to your doc. Also, people with bipolar disorder can become manic if an antidepressant is added to their bipolar meds, so keep that in mind. finally, drugs and alcohol never mix with bipolar disorder, regardless of meds
