Hmm, I went from Depakote to Lamictal so I can't give any advise about that, but do they have you on something to help you sleep? I went for months sleeping only 3-4 hrs. a night (was hypo manic then did a bad crash). So now I take a heavy-duty drug to knock me out. Sleep is very important to help regulate moods. Take care. It's not fun trying to figure out what works for you with the least amount of side effects.--Suzy

Leilee,
Depakote is supposed to be the drug of choice for rapid cycling. That sounds like a pretty good place to begin! Wish you luck, DJ
