Hey HappyGirl,
Thanks. I was looking at Lithium because I've read a few places that it has an antidepressant effect as well as a mood-stabilizing effect, but the people who've mentioned lithium say it can have the depressing effect soooo, I'm waiting on that one as it's a pretty high maintenance drug. I have taken Depakote, and it worked ok, except it, in combination with Paxil, made me gain 50 lbs in 2 months (which has significantly worsened my depression, despite losing it). I liked trileptal until I gained some weight with it that I absolutely cannot get off. I am going to my general doc to see if we can do something about this, but if not I want to get off it. I am on Wellbutrin and it has worked very well for me as far as an anti-depressant (and what one can do).
Thank you.
Meg
