AJ Giannini, WL Houser Jr, RH Loiselle, MC Giannini and WA Price
When the authors compared the antimanic effects of verapamil, lithium
carbonate, and placebo, no differences were seen between lithium and
verapamil and both were more effective than placebo in reducing symptoms.
No major side effects emerged during the study.
