You probably can get prescriptions (if that would be cheaper, it might be a good option), but it's all OTC.

Post-mania is most severe and easiest to rectify, maybe. But now I experimented with it and thought about it, maybe what I said was rubbish.

However, being in somewhat of a mixed state, daily mood changes, it has helped with post-mania, but the the periods of mania were extremely short. It probably makes things more mixed, but I don't care: I might be best being somewhat in a mixed state, sadly (in many ways it's bad, of course).

It's a bit like a (serotonin) shock therapy. I think it's much better than antidepressants or anxiolytics, but it's not for continuous use. Just to push you back into the ring, as it were.

I sometimes post about my experiences and experiments with all these supplements and stuff like nicotine in the check-in thread.

Do you smoke cigarettes? Otherwise experimenting with nicotine might not be the best of ideas of course. In case you don't know, it's extremely addictive. That's also why it should/could (only) be used like a shock therapy maybe for mania. But it gets too toxic quickly so I just don't know yet.
