...damn I wish I really knew?..thanks for this topic cos I was procrastinating about asking the question....but now I can take some information to the psychiatrist next time.

I take sodium valproate about a bucket full of it a day (not really )...but I just cannot tell if it's any good for me...Olanzapine was another one I had several years ago.

I have asked for lithium before but I get told no!....why would that be?
