A member asked:
Which weight loss supplements can people with bipolar condition take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ideally, none: Many weight loss supplements work by directly or indirectly raising activity of neurotransmitter called norepinephrine and Epinephrine - this increases risk of destabilization of bipolar d/o.
