My two staples are seroquel and lamictal. I take others to avoid depressive episodes, but think I might be ok with just the 2. If your pdoc is willing to work with you to make it on just the stabilizer- go for it! But i wouldn't try it without pdoc's advice! WARNING- the seroquel WILL cause weight gain or at least increased glucose levels so I'm switching to trileptal- find something else for sleep.
