So, I've been on Lithium for about 2.5 months since I was diagnosed BP. I've had terrible side affects that aren't going away and my pdoc yanked it today. In some ways I'm relieved because I physically don't feel good. So, starting tonight, I wean off the Lithium and she is adding Depakote syrup and slowly upping that. Oh, she also dropped down my Lamictal since I was starting on Depakote as well. So, my new meds will eventually only be Depakote and Lamictal. Any experience with this combo? Any success? Scared!

Eventually:
1000mg Depakote
300mg Lamictal
