I use to have to agree to take my medication until my next visit with the therapist or psychiatrist. So I had to promise every two weeks. I'm a "suicide risk" off medication. No therapist will work with me off medication. A lot of therapy was around learning the system was not against me. It wasn't until I went on desolvables that I actually took my medication mostly responsibly.

I hated Depakote and refuse to take it ever again. Lithium scares me. If your mood swings are still to much your doctor might add an anti-psychotic. When do you see your dr next? Do you have a therapist?

So currently you're soupose to be on depakote, lithium, and welbutrin?
