  • 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
once again antipsychotics, antiepileptics, and anticonvulsants are mood stabilizers.

You can use any drug under the 3 as a "mood stabilizer".

zyprexa or seroquel are cheap, OP
