Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There are many options for treatment of bipolar disorder. In case you have bipolar depression the options include Latuda, Lamotrigine and combination of olanzapine and fluoxetine.
Unfortunately none of them is over the counter medication and you need to get a prescription for same.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
