Drugs for mania include basic treatment drugs, antipsychotic drugs, stabilizers and so on.
1. Basic treatment drugs: common drugs include lithium carbonate tablets, magnesium valproate and other mood stabilizers. Their function is to control the patient’s mania and excitement, stabilize mood and prevent relapse. Because lithium carbonate has a slow onset of action and a poor sedative effect, it is often used in combination with antipsychotic drugs.
2. Antipsychotic drugs: common drugs include olanzapine tablets, quetiapine fumarate tablets and so on. They are used in the treatment of schizophrenia, mania, and Tourette’s syndrome, and have better effect on reducing excitement and mania, controlling hostile mood and aggressive behavior.
3. Valium drugs: common drugs include lorazepam, alprazolam and so on. They can effectively relieve tension and anxiety, and have certain sedative hypnotic and anti-manic effects.
Mania needs early detection and early treatment, patients need to strictly follow the doctor’s instructions during the medication to avoid adverse consequences.
