Seroquel Risperdal can have a potent mood stabilizing effect, especially when combined with antidepressants. Personally I have seen someone do phenomenally well on Wellbutrin, Seroquel, and Abilify.
Abilify or Geodon can produce antidpressant effects separately . Seroquel or, especially Zyprexa, can help with mania. Seroquel has also been approved for acute mania.
Doctors sometimes combine these drugs when mixed states are involved.
