to quote Kaplan & Zadock's:
"The use of anipsychotic medication in the patients is almost never indicated. Some data indicate that antidepressants and antianxiety medications may be useful as adjuvants to psychotherapy. A few uncontrolled studies report that anticonvulsant medications such as carbamazepine (Tegretol) help selected patients"

Well, that was on 1998. There are reasons to believe that atypical antipsychotics can do better (Zyprexa and Seroquel - my best bets). The cycling nature of the disorder may suggest that any mood stabilizer can do (Depakote, Tegretol, and more recently - Lamictal, Neurontin and mostly Topamax).

Goog luck!
Jimmy
