Katy,
Sorry to hear Lithium didn't work. If I were you and you really think you're BP, I'd definitely try Depakote or Trileptal. Depakote's working for me somewhat, but I'm just overly paranoid about the PCOS thing and I don't need to gain weight. I've already gained 10lbs this year due to ADs. I've gone up a size in pants. and altho' Dep. has not made me gain more than two or three pounds, I actually want to lose. But it's really more about the PCOS scare.
It sounds like if you gained a bit of weight it wouldn't be a problem.
You're already on the Lamictal, so to add another MS now might be a good thing. I'd talk to your doctor about it.
hugs,
Katia
