Personally i found depakote helpful but to be honest quinlin, none of us here are qualified enough to be able to give you any proper insight into whats the best course of action for you. What works for one person might not work for another - we all have different body chemistry. Give your meds a while to work and if your still your not happy with your psych's treatment then get a second opinion. Sorry if my advice isn't helpful but this personally is what i would do. Good luck.
