psych education lists:
atypical (2nd generation)
antipsychoticsLow-dose boosters for specific problems (as add-ons to "real" mood stabilizers?) - Seroquel: for sleep and agitation; has weight gain risk
- risperidone: for elderly, at very low doses; or BPI perhaps -- tricky antidepressant effects in some
- Geodon: no clear role; but hey, it causes less weight gain than Zyprexa, and really helps an occasional patient
- Abilify: strong antimanic, not so clear regarding depression -- but still learning about this one (as of 1/2009)
it does not classify them as a mood stablizer.
heres the address of the site mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder
