I’m on Lithium and Lamotrogine and Lorazepam. These are my main meds usually but when severely hypomanic or mixed I am given an AP to help me calm the f**k down. I have taken Seroquel, Zyprexa and Haloperidol mostly. Did try a lot of the newer ones like Abilify but they either did nothing or made me worse. I actually like Haloperidol best as it is not that sedative and hardly ever causes weight gain. Saying that, I am currently prescribed Seroquel to help me sleep and calm mania and mixed symptoms.
It is good to remember that we all have different bodies so meds work differently for all of us. Good luck.
