Mania, on the other hand, is marked by an unusually high or irritable mood, excessive energy, and impulsive behavior. This tablet helps restore balance in the brain’s chemical messengers, which improves mood, thought process, and overall behavior.
It can be taken either with meals or on an empty stomach, but it is important to use it around the same time each day so that the level of medicine remains steady in the body. The dose and duration are to be followed as directed by the doctor. If a dose is skipped, it should be taken when remembered, unless it is almost time for the next scheduled dose. In that case, the missed dose can be skipped without taking extra tablets. Suddenly stopping the medicine without medical advice may worsen the condition.
