> Hi,
> This is all very interesting, as I just came home with a recommendation from doc to start taking Omega three oil (might help, cant hurt)and that the local expert had just opened up TMS to those taking Depakote and that, since I had insurance, it would be covered, and be a back up for me if things fall apart. I haven't tried the thyroid as all the tests come back normal. I have had some success with depakote and most recently adding verapamil a calcium channel blocker.
> Thank you. I now have a couple more specific things to ask about if my positive improvement is only a spontanious remission.

> "There is little to be left behind if you take it all with you." -S.I.ClarkSusan, so the verapamil is still working for you OK? Can you tell us what the worst side effect of taking it is? When you came back from your doctor with the recommendation of Omega-3's was it because you were having some breakthrough depression probs? Sorry for the questions. I am going to see my pdoc soon, and verapamil has been brought up by my pdoc and I wonder if I should go for a trial. I stopped my low-dose Trileptal because it was making me a little "flighty" and uptight. Unfortunately, I am now more depressed as a result. So, I don't know whether to go back on the Trileptal and put up with the anxiety, or ask my pdoc to add back in some Neurontin, or... give the verapamil a try. Any comments greatly appreciated..Mitch
