If I were you, I would try to focus on what you are taking as medications so you can prevent your manic episodes. I noticed that you are taking a low dose of vraylar and may need to increase from 1mg to 3 mg- 6mg which is the recommended dose for those with manic episodes. I have manic episodes too and take abilify about 12-15 mg daily. Sometimes, I take an extra dose if the maintenance dose is not working.

But, your question is about having episodes at work and the best solution would be to prevent them from occurring or to take an extra dose of vraylar if it occurs. If you already have had them at work and people know about it, then it may be difficult to stop them from talking about it. I know it hurts that others may shame you and treat you differently but the best thing to do is to tell your boss or manager about your illness and ask for accommodations. They should be understanding and work with you. If you don't want to be treated differently but want to work still, the best bet is to prevent these episodes and to have a solution to deal with them. Again, it seems as if you are starting out again. I would not tell your manager or boss about your illness unless you really have to do so. Unfortunately, although there are laws in place in America for those with mental illnesses, people are not as understanding and they may use your mental illness as an excuse to get rid of you or not allow you to do certain responsibilities at work given in your field. I would not disclose your illness upfront but only when necessary. Also, if your work is affected by your illness because it is too stressful, then you should do work that is not as stressful hopefully in your given field. I used to work in the medical field but it was too stressful. I asked for accommodations but it still did not work out because of my limitations with my illness. I am now teaching and it is much more doable for me. I don't have any episodes and am doing fine. I am glad to have left the medical field. You'd think the medical professionals would be understanding about mental illness, but they are not. I was called Hannibal Lecter from the Silence of the Lambs movie and was repeatedly shamed by others telling me I was psycho. Thus, I am glad I left. I don't tell a soul about my illness now. And, it is working out well for me. Best Wishes!!
