I don't think much of mood stabilizers personnally. I tried augmenting with mood stabilizers under the same assumptions but depakote/lithium are heavy drugs.
Both did little/nothing for depression if not made it much worse. They exasperated low energy, low interest, poor concentration/focus, sexual dysfunction, feelings of worthlessness etc.
I don't think of lithium/depakote as having mood elevating properties.
Some people have had more sucess than myself, but I think that people are "still depressed", because psychiatry simply doesn't have all the answers.
