[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 65123, member: 1498"] Sorry, Janna, but none of the antipsychotics are mood stabilizers. They are [i]used[/i] as mood stabilizers but none are approved for the long term treatment of mood swings. They are all anti-mania medications and some are "bosters" for lithium and Depakote, but none have been approved for the "maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder", the FDA wording that denotes a mood stabilizer. The antipsychotics treat the acute episodes rather than work to prevent them. That's why so many people say that they stop working after a few months. [/QUOTE]
