Clonidine. An effective anti-manic agent?

J Maguire and AN Singh
St Brigid's Hospital, Ardee, Eire.

Three patients suffering from bipolar affective disorder, manic phase, and who were resistant to conservative treatment were successfully treated with clonidine. This would support the nor-adrenergic hyperactivity theory of mania. The rapidity of action of clonidine and its lack of relatively serious side-effects renders it a potential alternative to conventional anti-manic agents.
