I've taken sodium valporate, which is good for squashing mania. It's not good for the depressive side though, so it depends on which end of the spectrum you visit more and what has greater impact. Usually you can augment sodium valporate with an AD if things start getting rough. Also I don't know the price of it in America - I believe that, state-side, it's sold under the brandname depakote [or depacone, which IIRC is the liquid version].

I've been on it since 11/09 & I take 1,200 a day. I tried 1,500 a day & it was making me sick. So my PDoc said 1,200 would do.
Ohhh I've heard of depakote...ok thank you. I have an appointment next Wednesday & I'm taking notes here of things to discuss. Thx!
