Hi confused... and thank you...

I've only ever been prescribed Depakote as a mood stabiliser. I've no prejudice against that one, just that the thing it's there to prevent has thus far deigned to make any kind of appearance.

Once in a while I'll have a day - one day - where my energy levels go up, something like maybe once in every couple of months. Those days I use to fight with the garden. Then they're gone.

Maybe it's me. Maybe I should be adherent with the mood stabiliser so that the energy of those days becomes spread out, thereby lifting the depression enough for the anti-depressant to do its job.

Maybe I'll try that.
