thanks all, for the input. i hope this helped some, mom03.
just to reconfirm, i, too, lost about two years of fairly successful treatment because my pdoc did not place me on a stabilizer at first. i suppose there's a case against it in that the side effects can be numerous, but i can't imagine not giving one a trial. lithium and depakote kick in within two weeks, so results, or lack of, are going to be pretty quickly evaluatable (I know that's not a word. ;)).
