Depakote can be a strong anti-manic agent, which, esp. synergistically with Lithium, can mean that you are taking too much antimanic stuff and not enough antidepressant stuff. If anything is a candidate for a dose increase in your mix, it is Latuda, not epilim. I agree that given Depakote is such a bad med in terms of weight, you do not want to go above 1000. Maybe ask for a blood test for a depakote level - if she sees it is high enough, she won't push an increase on you. Ask her what she thinks about upping Latuda.
