ll need a typical or atypical antipsychotic (Seroquel and Abilify are both atypicals). Carbamazepine interacts
with a lot of other things, and oxcarbazepine (
Trileptal) seems like a better choice, even though it's off label.
In the end, there's a huge number of meds that can be used in BP, and it really depends on the individual how well any particular one will work. Check out the crazymeds page (just google it) to see a lot of info on different options for BP.
