>I took Prozac years ago for depression before the bi-polar was diagnosed. Once diagnosed I was started on Depakote which made me gain too much weight. I was then switched to Tegretol, and now and on Carbatrol. I am also on Temazipam to help me sleep at night. I am so angry at times that I feel I could harm someone. Obviosly, I need more than Carbatrol. Lithium scares me because quite honestly I think of mental institution patients taking it. I've recently heard of Lamictal & Neurontin which both sound interesting to me.
