I just posted a reply, but it didn't show up... guess I'll try again.
> is it enough to confirm a bp2 dx?
Not at all--many people report less anxiety and irritability while taking Depakote. This is probably largely due to its actions to increase GABA levels.
> how long should i have waited to start the lexapro? see previous post re: lexapro jitters
That's a highly individualized kind of thing, so I can't really answer that... but re: your current dose of Lexapro, you may want to cut back to 5mg for a couple more weeks before raising the dose to 10mg. Titrating the dose upward too fast on about any med can worsen the side effects.
