I've tried 3 different mood stabilizers. Lithium didn't do anything for me and put me in the ICU, Depakote helped a lot but caused a lot of weight gain so I was switched to Trileptal which I've been on for several years and it's worked great (especially for mania) with no side effects and no weight gain
