Abstract
The symptoms of 3 bipolar patients remitted after clonidine treatment. One patient presented with mixed bipolar disorder, 2 were manic and all were psychotic. One patient''s akathisia also appeared to respond to clonidine. Clonidine''s thymoleptic effect paralleled resulting cardiovascular changes.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
