Thanks HG. This is quite helpful, I have recently considered trying the combo of Li and Dep. But I think my next test will be Dep. and a Ca channel blocker like Nimodipine. Have you ever tried that combo?

> That's correct. I agree with you in regard to M.S. effectiveness. It could be used two or more M.S. at a time, like 'add-on' Neurontin, Topamax and the others.
> However, in my opinion, Depakote and Lithium is NOT a good match. Actually, I went through this, ... I was on both, Lithium and Depakote at the beginning of my dx. Bipolar. However, in my VERY personal experience, this combo. did NOT help me, ... rather practically seems I was just on one of med. that was on Lithium only. The effectiveness of Depakote was so faint, AFTER Lithium was added. However, I understand/know that everyone reacts differently on different med., then I can NOT be sure to say about this, the effectiveness when on two M.S.
