lamictal looks useful... especially for Bipolar II... but lithium is with less side effects...and some side effects of Depakote are very interesting...hallucinations
... i have never experienced it but i would rather wait for few years for my BP/anything else i have to get worse....
just read article on wikipedia .... tone is very very positive
... so Bipolar II is worse than Bipolar I .... great ...

There is evidence to suggest that Bipolar II Disorder has a more chronic course of illness than Bipolar I Disorder.This constant and pervasive course of the illness leads to an increased risk in suicide and more hypomanic and major depressive episodes with shorter periods of time between episodes than Bipolar I patients experience.The natural course of Bipolar II Disorder, when left untreated, leads to patients spending the majority of their lives unwell with much of their suffering stemming from depression.Their recurrent depression results in personal suffering and disability.This disability can present itself in the form of psychosocial impairment, which has been suggested to be worse in Bipolar II patients than in Bipolar I patients
