New mood-stabilizers ?

Posted by SLS on April 4, 2001, at 12:06:21

Two new anticonvulsants are being investigated through preliminary studies for their potential to be of benefit to people suffering from bipolar disorder, including those who have not adequately responded to current available treatments. Their mechanisms of action appear to be very different from the other anticonvulsants.

levetiracetam (Keppra)
zonisamide (Zonegan)

Another relatively new anticonvulsant, tiagabine (Gabitril), has been used from time to time for bipolar disorder, but I haven't seen anyone on Psycho-Babble describe their experience with it.
