What do you do to cope with bipolar mania when you're tired of the cocktail of meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coping: If you have bipolar type 1, medication is the best option for controlling mania. If you are still having manic symptoms, you may need a change in your medication. Exercise is a good way to cope with mania but in combination with medication. Support groups may also be beneficial such as nami. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns about your medication.
