Hi Beth,
SLS's advice is good. After trials with the newer antypical antipsychotics, refractory patients sometimes try conventional antipsychotics (like Haldol or Thorazine). As SLS said, Clozaril is also helpful for many people with treatment-resistant symptoms. I suspect your best bet it with an antipsychotic agent rather than a mood stabilizing agent, but I do not know the specifics of your disorder. I have schizophrenia and have had success with Geodon. I hope this helps.
