I've taken both and would have to say Depakote is the better of the two. I have schitzoaffective which is cross between schitzophrenia and bipolar. Which I'm guessing you might be. Depakote will sedate you, lamictal won't but at same time did nothing positive for me. I've been taking zyprexa for 11 years now, and can say no other drug has been better for me. I took depakote for a year and lamictal for a few weeks. I sort of thought of lamictal as more of an antidepressant. Depakote is deffinitly a mood stabilizer, calms you and racing thoughts.
