Greta- I used to have intense manias that would last for a few months at a time. I can only share what has worked for me...of course it may not work for you.
I take 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acids, 3 caps. of magnesium taurate, 3 grams of C, 800 IU of E, B-100 complex, multi-vitamin, probiotic (primal defense), 3 caps. of magnesium-chromium-b6 (min-plex from trace nutrients)per day. It costs me about $50 per month. I don't eat diary or wheat based products, almost no alcohol, almost no caffeine, lots of fresh and whole vegetables and fruits, some fish, chicken and red meat. I exercise a lot. I also meditate.
I haven't had mania or depression for over 2 years. I used to cycle (without fail) twice per year for 30 years.
See a naturopath, or orthomolecular doctor, or integrative practioner, i.e. anyone who may be able to shed some light about alternative ways to heal what ails you.
Good luck. I hope you find your way through the mania.
