> Effexor was one that I did try and it made me hypomanic/mixed - I actually lost weight on it. I was also extremely sensitive (what a surprise!) to the w/drawal effects. I had it everyday, even tho' I was taking my meds same time everyday. I won't go thru' another effexor withdrawal - no thanks! I also went thru' a hellish w/drawal on Zoloft.
> From what I am hearing - depakote will not be enough to rid me of the depressive side. B/c of the Lamictal rash, my pdoc wants to start me on depakote. why not? It's worth a try and if it doesn't work, then I'll try something else.

Don't write off Lamictal - it has helped a great deal with no other side effects
