I can't believe it. My psych doc changed my meds this wednesday. Dropped Abilify and Lamictal. Keeping 300 mg Lithium, and adding Depakote. I also have Ativan 1 mg to take as needed for anxiety. He suggests I take ativan in the am til I see him again.

This morning when I woke up my feet hit the floor running. I drove all over town by myself just fearless. I could talk to people as though we knew each other. I had energy, I made a lovely dinner for hubby's birthday today At the end I was sapped of strength. But I did a lot, at least for me at this stage. If this is how it's going to stay, I'm thrilled. If the depakote, as the dosage increases, makes me flat, well...I don't know. I don't like flat. I also don't like depression.
Time will tell.

Does anyone else use Depakote, Lithium and ativan?
