Trial of Citicoline Therapy in Patients With Mania or Hypomania and Cocaine Abuse/Dependence

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.
