> I am currently taking 200mg of lamictal but am having to find a different mood stabilizer because my insurance will not pay for any more name brand drugs until the first of the year. So my pdoc wants to try me on depakote. I have tried tegretol in the past and it did nothing for me except make me depressed. The lamictal is working so well for me but I have to say goodbye. Is depakote a good choice? I will not try lithium. I am also on 25mg of Seroquel. Any advice?

What a bummer!! I take 200mg of Lamictal too. Great drug. Love it. Depakote seems to work very well for alot of people, however, it can be quite sedating compared to Lamictal. Try to take it in the evening if possible. What dose does he want you to start with?Polarbear
