There are other mood stabilizer like Valproate and Carbamazepine, But lithium is usually the best option for preventing further episodes. it also has anti suicidal effects. Please discuss this further with your psychiatrist and NEVER use any medication without prescription and supervision of a Doctor. I hope this helps
