Some alternative medications for bipolar disorder include anticonvulsants (such as valproate, lamotrigine) and atypical antipsychotics (such as olanzapine, quetiapine).

It is important to work closely with a healthcare provider to determine the best treatment option for each individual.
How to Manage Your Bipolar ?
Those suffering from bipolar disorder may require medicinal treatment. One such treatment option is Lamictal (lamotrigine), a well-known antipsychotic. Once used to treat certain types of seizures, Lamictal had been found to treat mood disorders, including bipolar disorder. It works to lengthen the time between extreme highs and lows that a bipolar individual can experience.

Does lamictal contain opiates?
No. Lamictal (and I'm using a quote from healthline.com) "is an anti-epileptic medication, also called an anticonvulsant. Lamotrigine (aka Lamictal) is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat seizures in adults and children who are at least 2 years old. Lamotrigine is also used to delay mood episodes in adults with bipolar disorder." Opiates strictly deal with nerves, and are not meant to treat seizures or bipolar disorder.

There is an algorithm that your doctor probably follows. Everyone fills in a different drug-profile. But, yes there is other medications for Bipolar disorder.

Other drugs are lamotrigine (lamictal), lithium, aripiprazole, risperidone, carbamazepine, olanzapine, clozapine, ziprasidone, fluoxetine combined with olanzapine (symbyax, specially for bipolar depression).
Patient is on Prozac lamictal topomax could zoloft be givin with theses medications to help with bipolar depression?
No. Zoloft is in the same class of anti-depressants as Prozac and would not be helpful. Depressive episodes of bipolar disorder are treated differently than major depression. Prozac and Topamax may/may not be helping the situation. Lamictal is considered first line for depressive symptoms of bipolar I disorder. If Lamictal (lamotrigine) is not helpful for controlling depressive symptoms, usually an atypical antipsychotic is added, such as quetiapine (Seroquel). The term "bipolar depression" is fairly general and is important to a response about treatment. Treatment for depressive episodes of bipolar depression differ from treatment of manic episodes. I would recommend that you look at the Texas Implementation of Medication Algorithms for Bipolar I Disorder in order to tailor therapy for your patient's symptoms.
