Bipolar disorder and cocaine?
Persons with bipolar disorder are very susceptible to cocaine (and other "uppers" abuse, like meth). This is because the high from the cocaine mimics the bipolar person's natural manic state (bipolar disorder consists of mania and depression, hence why it was once called "manic depression". The mania experienced by a bipolar person is enjoyable. They often feel they are on top of the world, unstoppable, euphoric, impulsive and spontaneous. When in a manic phase, it is not uncommon for the person to go on a shopping spree and spend more money than they have. Sometimes the impulsive behavior during a manic phase will trigger a depressive episode, other times the depression just comes without any triggers. The depression experienced by someone with bipolar is usually severe. Once the person has experienced cocaine (or other uppers) they may abuse it to retrieve those great feelings during their mania. This means the potential for abuse and addiction is high. There are no specific risks that are unique to someone suffering from bipolar disorder compared to a cocaine users who does not have bipolar. I'd only assume that if the bipolar person is in a manic phase when (s)he uses the cocaine, their impulsivity and feelings that they cannot be harmed could make them susceptible to overdose or other dangerous behavior while under the influence. There are rehab facilities that treat "dual diagnosis" which means the person not only has a substance abuse/addiction problem, but they have a mental disorder (such as bipolar) congruently. I'd recommend they look into a dual diagnosis treatment center if they are looking for or wanting help.

You took cocaine on sat will you be ok for a urine test on weds had about a gram?
Cocaine metabolites lasts in your system for about 2-4 days for non-heavy users and can extend for 2-3 weeks in heavy users. It is a Russian roulette if you expect to be clean by Wednesday, my understanding is that you are more likely than not to test positive. The question really is why do you do cocaine in the first place? if it is chronic for you, then it could be a sign of another psychiatric disorder. I had bipolar disorder undiagnosed for years and cocaine was my way of self medicating. Now that I almost have my manic and depressive episodes under control, I hardly crave cocaine, and is even able to quit smoking. If cocaine for you is just a recreational drug, I recommend you consider adjusting your life style to avoid the temptation. While it won't kill you if you take cocaine once or twice a month recreationally, it is still like playing with fire because your usage rate can easily escalate, or you can get yourself into trouble in a myriad ways. good luck!
What is the difference between manic depressive narcissism and borderline personality disorder?
First of all, Manic Depression is now referred to as Bi-Polar Disorder and it is a mood disorder. Narcissism (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) and Borderline Personality Disorder are that, Personality Disorders. Someone diagnosed as manic depressive narcissism sounds like a dual disorder, one disorder 'confounded' by another. Since manic depression is bi polar disorder there is a dis-regulation in the highs (mania) and lows (depression). Some people self medicate by using alcohol (a depressant) when they are too high, and using cocaine for example (a stimulant) when they are too low. It is the body's attempt to find a stable mood. Both alcohol and stimulants can exacerbate the signs and symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The 'Narcissistic rage' ignited or inflamed by alcohol is one example. NPD tend to be angry, nasty, exploitive, explosive, evasive, demanding. They are extremely difficult to get along with or live with. NPD have a fear of abandonment, real or imaginary, can not manage emotions in adult fashion, and will initiate break up, take no responsibility for outcome and bask in victim-hood. Borderline Personality Disorder also shows signs of distress around abandonment, real or imaginary, and can not regulate emotions. BPD also rage when they are afraid, fearful or insecure, which only serves to push people away. "Mommy Dearest" is a good portrayal of BPD. There is a spectrum of axis II personality disorders often overlapping. Plenty of info on line. Barbara Kennedy MPH/MSW
