Hi,
Are you being treated for anxiety? One of the drugs my pdoc likes to use for me (Bipolar with comorbid panic disorder) is klonopin, a very effective long acting benzo and some docs consider a somewhat effective mood stabilizer. I find depakote to be very depressing (which probably is not what you're looking for) but extremely effective in manic episodes. Like Elizabeth mentioned lamictal is effective both as a mood stabilizer and AD in BP2s. I would see a specialist in bipolar disorder before going down that trail, and make sure your anxiety is under control (I think that can help depression a great deal) I wish you all the best, and sorry I think I get to be the Queen of nuts. Take care, Judy
