My pdoc did mention adding Neurontin to the Depakote. I truly hope so because the weight gain is becoming an issue. Hopefully, it will allow me to lower the depakote dose. I've read that antidepressants destabilize mood in BP II patients, but I seem to crash into horrible depressions if I'm not on one. So I'm not sure if multiple mood stabilizers or keeping the Remeron on board is better. If the irritability is still there after 4 weeks, I will stop it. I'll keep you informed of what happens. Thanks for your input, it helps alot.
