Thanks for all the suggestions. Right now I am on Depakote and I thought it would help and maybe it is and I am just having a 'break through'. Levetiracetam and olanzapine i had come across and I will look these meds up and try to be informed when I see pdoc next week. Again, I really appreciate all your work...you are kind of like an angel, always here, always with something to suggest, but unlike an angel, you always seem to have something very solid to suggest or describe..good luck south of the border.
