Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I read your question carefully and understand your concern. I would like to explain that both tokamak and Aborigine are antiepileptic Chat Doctor.  But they have also another effect, which is mood stabilizer. Aborigine is more famous for this effect than tokamak. Other antiepileptics very effective in your medical condition are carbamazepine and valproate, although they have more side effects than topiramate and Aborigine. Regarding circle, it is an antidepressant, helpful in treating negative signs of bipolar disorder (depression, lack of hope, etc.). If your condition has not got better with this therapy, I would recommend consulting with your psychiatrist to consider the possibility to switch into another antiepileptic (like valproate or carbamazepine), or start Lithium therapy, which is very effective in bipolar disorder if no contraindications and well tolerated. Hope to have been of help! Best wishes,
