Certain calcium channel blockers are being studied for use in the treatment of bipolar disorder as mood stabilizers. One reason for the interest in this application is that calcium channel blockers are far safer for use during pregnancy than lithium or any of the anticonvulsants commonly used to stabilize moods and treat mania. Some of these medications may also be effective in treating neuroleptic-induced tardive dyskinesia, a side effect of many antipsychotics.
