Hi, Mike
Too give you a quick answer... Depakote is a mood stablizer, Klonopin is for anxiety, Risperdal and Zyprexa are both anti-pyschotic meds but also have qualities in them that can be used for mood and panic disorders. All can be used to treat bipolar disorder. I, too, am bipolar and am on four different meds at the moment. Two of them are Risperdal and Klonopin. In my own opinion, I think that the best thing to do would be to consult her doctor for all the questions you have. You can also do some research over the Internet. Good luck to you and welcome to the forum!
