I found that my best approach was the anticonvulsant Topamax. I'm dx Bipolar I Disorder and the only medication that has worked for me with optimal results is Topamax. It is strange and my doctor doesn't understand it, but it does work. I tried Lithium, Lamictal, Depakote and Lithium +Lamictal + Lexapro. That didn't work too well, because I was still depressed and I quit all of my meds except Lexapro. It made me manic.
