80 Emerging Uses of Atypical Antipsychotics in Bipolar Disorders Primary Therapies for Bipolar Disorder  Olanzapine - Mania, maintenance, depression (combined w fluoxetine)  Risperidone - Mania  Quetiapine - Mania, depression  Ziprasidone - Mania  Aripiprazole - Mania, maintenance Adjuncts for Bipolar Disorder  Olanzapine - Mania  Risperidone - Mania  Quetiapine - Mania  Clozapine - Treatment resistant Ketter TA (ed).

81 Conclusions  Many new agents in development –Diverse mechanistic, efficacy, and adverse effect profiles  New Anticonvulsants –Not as a class effective in acute mania –Variable efficacy in bipolar disorders and comorbid conditions  Newer Antipsychotics –As a class effective in acute mania –Emerging efficacy in acute depression and maintenance
