[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 679766, member: 1963"] A mood-stabilizer is an anti=epileptic drug that is also used for mood stabilization in bipolar folks. The Depakote is a mood stabilzer. Antidepressants work to allow higher baseline amounts of serotonin SSRI, by preventing the neurons from reabsorbing it after release. SNRI antidepressants work on serotonin, but also work on norepinephrine. Risperadol is an atypical antipsychotic, used in Bipolar for its calming effect, and to deal with any signs of psychosis which aren't uncommon with BiPolar (BP). Antipsychotics work primarily by lowering baseline dopamine levels in the brain. This is why AAPs can cause extra-pyramidal symptoms such as stiff muscles, tremor, etc. [/QUOTE]
