Does Substance Abuse Accelerate a Bipolar Persons Mood Swings?

Question by daniel: Does substance abuse accelerate a bipolar persons mood swings?
If a person were bipolar, and they abused substances like alcohol or marijuana or cocaine, would they experience mood swings while they were high, because i am not bipolar but i might have some traits, and i experience very bad swings in high’s, like calm, to sad, to angry, to happy, to crying, to getting aggresive, and sexual. I know this isn’t normal, even with substance abuse. So does bipolar disorder affect the abuser’s high, by the mood swings?

Your mood swings would be hell. They would be even more all over the place than they are now. It would consist more of anger and sexual arousal. But if you did get sad, it could turn into suicidally. I wouldn’t do drugs or drink.
