Hi, the best mood stabilizer addon for depakote would be lithium (if you can tolerate it). As far as T4 goes.. get blood tests to check your thyroid function (a baseline), and see what your doctor thinks about it. If you add lithium, also adding a little T4 might be good, since the lithium will depress your thyroid somewhat.
