If credit cards you can cancel them. I got three credit cards and ended up canceling them ofcourse that was AFTER I had maxed all three of them out first. Paid one off, paying one off and one took me to court. Dang. Good luck. I hate it when I do that. -

When I first went on meds after being dx'ed, I couldn't stop spending. Bought a 52in plasma, new Italian leather sectional, Subaru Outback, and then realized just how much I had spent in 2 months.
My wife was with me for all purchases, but we had savings, so it wasn't harming our credit. Then I found my self at home all day, so I began to buy shit online that I didn't need, just felt better when I did it.
Now, I just don't look, not online, not in the numerous catolages we recieve or in the stores. I have no idea what caused it, it is a BP trait, but it kinda just went away.
Might have been all the med changes that I went through during that period. -

Bipolar shares a lot of the same sumptoms as Parkinson's Disease. Wonder if there is a link? -
