mood stablizers for Bipolar II? I just want to see what options a doctor has for me, so I can look some side effects up, etc.

Missy,


The mood stabilzers are basically the same...however, I know they use Lamictal a lot for BP II...just go to google and type in mood stabilizers for BP II and see what you come up with.

I'm not sure if this issue was solved or not. (I'm just now playing catch up.) But www.webmd.com has a very complete listing of all kinds of drugs. It's got side effects, who should take it and who shouldn't, what they're for, etc. Even how and when to take it. (Always listen to your doc, though.) It's under "Drugs and Herbs". Here's the direct link: http://my.webmd.com/medical_information/drug_and_herb/default.htm
