A member asked:
Please give me some ideas of bipolar medication that doesn't require having levels checked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medications 4 mania: That require levels include lithium, depakote (valproic acid) & tegretol (carbamazepine). All others (including atypical antipsychotics like abilify, (aripiprazole) zyprexa, risperdal as well as typical anti psychotics like haloperidol) dont us. require levels. If a med that requires levels (like Li) ultimately does work best 4 u, u may decide to stay with it. Work closely w ur MD 2 find the best med regimen 4 u
