Summary
The purpose of this research is to determine if a citicoline supplement is associated with a
reduction in cocaine use and craving in patients with bipolar disorder (a mental disorder
marked by alternating periods of mania and depression) or schizoaffective disorder/bipolar
type (a psychotic disturbance in which there is a mixture of schizophrenic and
manic-depressive symptoms) and cocaine abuse/dependence. This research also wants to explore
if citicoline supplements are associated with greater improvement in symptoms of mania and on
memory and cognition (the mental faculty of perception, reasoning, and judgement) in these
patients.
