Several choices: There are several mood stabilizers which you and your doctor can select, based on your history, and medical condition. These include lithium, and drugs initially developed to treat seizure disorders and psychotic illnesses.

Many options: Lithium, valproic acid, Carbamazepine and many second generation antipsychotics could be classified as a mood stabilizer. In general all are effective. Treatment needs to be individualized for best outcome.
