> I'd like to second the suggestion for Lithium. I don't have BP, I have treatment resistant depression, but Li has been a lifesaver for me. So, I think it might be a good choice whether you have BP or not.

> Some people gain on Li, but not all. I did not. Also, they say that just b/c you gain on one drug, it doesn't mean you will gain on another. It might be worth the risk.
>Thanks! I called my PDOC, and will give it a try. He had suggested Lithium, Depakote, or Trileptal.
