What is the best medicine as maintenance for bipolar mood disorder?

a couple of shots of vodka or tequila
I tried so many over the period of 5 years. I must say the best thing I've used has been Lamictal. Since begining to take this drug I have been back to work for over a year. I haven't been hospitalized at all. Also, I have found that a steady routine helps too keep my moods level.
It's hard to say which medicine, or combination of medicines, will work best for you. I'm currently on 30 mg of Prozac along with 1 mg of Risperdal and have had excellent results. Your psychiatrist will evaluate you and determine which medicines will work best for you.
dont take seroquel
Although i do love evabs answer. That is something that you should talkt with your dr about. Sometimes it is a trial and error process but if you stick with it you will evetually find the right stuff
I personally am on 300mg of Lamictal + 75mg of Welbutrin a day. I haven't had a manic or depressive episode since I started the drug combination, which was over a year ago.

No sexual side effects or weight gain occured, either.
Whatever works for you. Everyone reacts to meds differently, so the only way to find out what will work for someone is trial and error. It took a few years for me to stablize on my current meds, but it's worth it. I feel so much better when I'm on them.
