What Is The Best Medicine For Bipolar Disorder?
I am searching for a medication to treat bi-polar disorder, that sounds something like Klomictal . I am a social worker and a client told me she has been prescribed this medication but I cannot find it. I am spelling it incorrectly for sure! Thank you. Alane.Condet @ssa.ocgov.com

Hello dear,
I think you are talking about lamictal that contain lamotrigine.
It has anticonvulsion and mood stabilizer effect.
It has a potential to treat bipolar disorder and prevent its occurrence.
Initial dose: 25 mg/day then every week dose should be increased by 25 mg.
But always consultant and require close follow up with your doctor.
Hope this may help you.
Wish you good health.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
