I got the dx of bipolar 1 about 7 years ago & am doing pretty well on Abilify (25mg), Lamictal (300 mg) plus Concerta (ADD), Provigil (to help combat excessive daytime sleepiness), Trazodone & klonopin to help sleep.

Abilify helped a lot with paranoid thoughts & delusions. Lamictal is helping with depression. I guess with them all working together, I 'm doing ok, but was dxed with mixed-moderate at my last appt. on Tues. I've been having trouble getting over a traumatic event so I think it is mostly psychological & emotional that is causing me the trouble now. Something that probably won't be taken care of by drugs, but by therapy. Welcome to the club!--Suzy
