I have talked about the itching w/ the doctor. It has now stopped, but I don't think this medication is really working.
I am having other side effects that aren't too pleasant, and have been having extreme anxiety.
What else can I try? I have tried lithium, and now trileptal.
I am really afraid to try depakote, due to the weight gain side effect. My pdoc suggested depakote and a small dose of topamax to counteract the weight gain, but I don't know. I have still been having hypomanic episodes (by the way, I am bipolar II). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have another appt with the pdoc this week.
