> Through all of my trials, I've never tried a small dose (250mg) of Depakote ER for a mood stabilizer. Will Deplin also be good with an anticonvusant since they are suppose to deplete folic acid?
That seems like an additional reason to take Deplin. It is hard to predict what will work for you without the benefit of a crystal ball. I don't know if Deplin works when combined with Depakote alone. I tend to think that you would need an antidepressant to work in conjunction with Deplin. Deplin increases the rate of synthesis of NE, 5-HT, and DA. So, here we are, dealing with a possible synergy between drugs that act on these same neurotransmitters.
> I was thinking about trying Lamicatal again but I hate feeling instantly great only to get a nice response with each dose increase and after that, poop out.Yes. Your experience with Lamictal is typical. However, it might still prove essential in a treatment regimen. I take two antidepressants, but feel like crap if I don't also take Lamictal 200mg.
What drugs had the best effect on you?
