Max,
FIRST, you need to get yourself stabilized (many mood stabilizers out there, as Brother Caleb mentioned)......give the Depakote some time to work (Lithium is a great choice, by the way)...your sleep, focus, spending, eating should improve as your moods stabilize.......for your muscle tension you can try taking magnesium (I'd take magnesium glycinate OR magnesium malate) AND also calcium (NOT calcium carbonate...calcium citrate is ok, I like calcium hydroxyapatite)---Magnesium and Calcium are calming minerals....LEARN about supplements---fish oil, B-vitamins, vitamin-C, etc., many supp's can help along with your meds....get stabilized first, then LEARN...take care!
