Glad to hear that depakote is working for you. I became jaundice on depakote, so the doctor took me off. He suggested Lithium,but I hadn't heard many good things about that, so I never took it (against his advice). As for Wellbutrin, all I can say is - WOW!!!!!!!!!! This is the wonder drug of the future. I don't know how I would manage on a day to day basis without it. I take 300mg/SR (150mg twice a day) We've tried 400mg, but I started have muscle tremors,so my doctor lowered the dosage. I now take Adderall and Wellbutrin. The combo seems to be doing the trick, except now I can't sleep at night, so my doctor gave me some Ativan on Saturday to take for a few week to get my circadian cycle back on track. I have a feel that he may suggest the Lithium again. My doctor is the greatest. Through trial and error, we've discovered that I have a dopamin/norenephrine deficiency. I had little if any progress while taking the SSRI's, but as soon as I took the Wellbutrin - bingo. I'm bi-polar and this holiday season has been rough. I can usually tell when I'm about to have an episode because I become a gym fanatic, that's when I call my doctor (smile).
