Best Answer

Lithium which is a mood stabilizer.

Hi. I am personally living with one of the most advanced stages of Bipolar disorder. I have been on the same two medications for it my whole life. They are Lamictal, which is a mood stabilizer and Risperidal, which is another mood stabilizer to be taken at night. I would recommend these two medications to anyone with Bipolar Disorder.
