Two mood stabilizers and an antipsychotic (used as a minor mood stabilizer) is very common, but the specific ones will vary from patient to patient.
The fact that Lamictal is one of the mood stabilizers suggests that the patient has slightly more problem with depressive mood swings than manic mood swings.
