So, after seeing my PD today, he switched me from valium to xanax (http://forums.psychcentral.com/bipol...on-valium.html) and prescribed dekapote 500mg in addition to my current cocktail of Saphris and Lactamil. Isn't that too much medication? I didn't know you could be prescribed more than two mood stabilizers.

Could you please share your experiences with Dekapote? Is the weight gain as bad as the reviews say?
