Hey guys unfortunately my thyroid is taking quite a beating from Lithium. It's really a shame since Lithium has been great for both my highs and lows, and the only difficult side effect it's given me is acne. As a result, my pdoc might put me on either Depakote or Tegretol. I tried Depakote in the past and it helped my highs but I got depressed on it (maybe pairing it with Latuda/Wellubtrin/Lamictal might help?). I've never been on Tegretol, and I heard some complaints about cognitive side effects and sleepiness. What are your experiences with these two primary mood stabilizers? Which one is more sedating? How was your cognition on them?
