I have been taking Depakote and Trileptal since about November. I started on Abilify about a month ago (it was prescribed instead of Risperdal). And I have been on Klonopin for about a year.

Last year I was having an antidepressant (Lexapro) but didn't help at all. I even suspect it made me have su thoughts but I'm not sure. Now I'm not taking any antidep.

Depakote was first prescribed to me because an abnormal activity I have on my brain. But now I know that it also helps the bipolar thing.

I can't believe it had to pass 11 yrs. to finally get a dx. I surely hope it is an accurate one, although everything seems to fit in it.
