Question “Do some medications used to treat bipolar disorder actually cause anxiety attacks as a side effect?”

With this post, we continue our biweekly series on medications used to bipolar disorder and related symptoms. We launched the series with a post on lithium – the standard bearer for the so-called mood stabilizers .

John M. Grohol, Psy.D., CEO & Publisher of PsychCentral.com, generously offered us our own space on Psych Central to blog about topics of interest to those in the bipolar community – people with bipolar disorder and their loved ones, physicians, psychiatrists, therapists, and anyone else who’s interested in learning more about bipolar disorder. Although we’ve been hosting our own Bipolar Blog for over a year now, we jumped at the opportunity to gain additional exposure, share our knowledge and insights with more people, and listen to what you have to say.
