Thank you to all for your advice.
Right now I am still sticking with 1250mg of Depakote and 600mg of lithium. The first few days were rocky, but I think I was still coming off the Zoloft. Like I said, even a touch of AD's can make me feel like shit and unstable.
If over the course of this week I still feel unstable or dysthymic, I will talk to him about adding Remeron.Of course, other options are more/different mood stabilizers, or even a low-dose atypical antipsychotic (when I start to get depressed I get very violent/hostile ruminating thoughts among other symptoms).
But I'm glad Remeron may offer some AD hope. Thanks again for your input.
