I have a bipolar diagnosis, which I have fought for a long time. I have a new doctor who started me on zoloft and depakote. I had trouble with the depakote so I am only on the zoloft. I was on paxil a year ago and had a manic episode that landed me in the hospital where I received my diagnosis. I have racing thoughts with or without medicine and the zoloft doesnt seem to help. I've tried zyprexa (weight gain) and seroquel (anger and irritability issues). I don't know what would be a good mood stabilizer to add. I also have terrible insomnia. 3 to 4 hrs a night is good sleep for me and the zoloft isn't helping. I would appreciate any suggestions. Maybe start with a lower dose of depakote although I didn't like the way it made me feel. Thanks for your responses. I'm afraid of going manic on zoloft alone so I'm quite concerned.
