Alcohol Treatment Michigan
Alcohol Treatment Michigan
One of the most severe psychiatric disorders is the bipolar disorder. This is a condition of alternating periods of high creativity and energy, mania and depression with varying degrees of severity.
It is very expensive to treat. The treatment consists in a combination of anti-anxiety, mood stabilizers and antidepressant drugs. The first medicine prescribed to treat bipolar disorder and to control mania is Lithium (lithium carbonate). This drug is non-addictive but it is toxic. Patients taking Lithium must make regular blood tests to monitor the toxicity.
There are many other drugs that can replace Lithium, like the anti-convulsants Clonazepram (Klonopin, Rivotril), Divalproex Sodium (Depakote) or Carbamazepine (Tegretol).
Let us talk about Klonopin. You should tell your doctor your medical history, especially of liver disease, kidney disease, glaucoma, lung disease, breathing disorders and of any allergies you may have. Klonopin can interact with cimetidine, disulfram, narcotic pain relivers, sedatives and some antidepressants (nefazodone, fluoxetine). Limit alcohol intake while taking this medication because excessive drowsiness may occur.
Like any other drug, treatment with Klonopin involves side effects such as:
- weakness, indigestion, drowsiness, change in appetite, headache, nausea, dizziness;
- excessive hair growth or loss of hair, mood changes, blurred vision, sleeplessness, dry mouth, muscle pain and weight changes.
Notify your doctor if you develop double vision, unusual eye movements, severe weakness, increased salivation, hallucinations, loss of coordination, a rapid or pounding heartbeat or difficulty speaking.
Do not start or stop Klonopin without doctor approval.
It is important to look out for any potential bipolar disorder signs before they get out of hand. It is a lifelong illness, but it does not have to be a struggle.

Also is there anything I can do to lower the fine or take an alternative punishment? Or anything I can do to keep this from going on my record?
