5 drugs better than ADs for bipolar disorder

Posted by Hugh on May 4, 2020, at 15:19:42

Conclusion
Findings from STEP-BD studies indicate that antidepressants should be avoided in most cases in treating acute depression in patients with bipolar disorder. Rather, one should choose from among five medications with a reasonable evidence-base for effectiveness and safety in treating or at least preventing bipolar depressions, namely: lithium, quetiapine, lamotrigine, lurasidone, and cariprazine -- or combinations of these.
