> Kate, my dear, you have both asked and answered your own question. From too much difficult experience with all those "old mood stablizers", I have absolutely NOTHING good to say about any of them!!! All that I can say about Depakote would not be proper or lady-like to mention here.

> NancyKate, I'm sorry that I didn't offer much help in my previous comment. I'd like to rectify that if I may. I have been on two different antimanics that are also capable of controlling psychotic features. The first drug, is only available through participation in a drug trial. It's name, Ziprasidone. Ziprasidone was developed by Pfizer. It was the first drug that successfully controled the ultra-rapid-cycling and those horrible, painful mixed-states. Furthermore, I began losing the wieght I'd gained while taking Lithium(#@$&%**@) and
Depakote (**&*%$#@#^#)! But, there's another drug
that I'm familiar with. It's also, one of the least likely weight producing antimanics.I hope that this was much more helpful than my last comment,
Nancy
