My pdoc mentioned she's thinking of adding Epival/Valproate to try to fight off my depression. I'm on Latuda and Lithium and in the midst of an 8-month-long depression.

Anyone have experience with Epival/Valproate - the side effect of pancreatitis sounds scary!

I have been on it with a combo of lithium. It has been a positive outcome for me.

Good on you for checking the interactions. I have not been on it with a lithium combination. It was not effective in my med treatment and I was taken off it before being discharged. I did have liver damage but I could not blame this single med as I was on a whole lot that cause liver damage.

Sorry it didn't work out. I know all about liver damage from meds - Lamictal caused it for me. As soon as I stopped Lamictal so did the liver damage...crazy.
