Often in the first 3 months we use an atypical antipsychotic medication (Zyprexa, Seroquel, Risperdal, Abilify) along with Lithium or Lamictal or Tegretol. Valproate is often used if depression is not part of the picture. Some experts will use Klonopin to help assist anxiety, sleep and mania.
Hope this helps and thanks.
