Hi:
I have an experience on both M.S.s, Depakote in the beginning of my dxed with Bp II and added to the Lithium. However, the effectiveness of Depakote got weaker and weaker as the Lithium started to kick in.

In my personal opinion, .... Depakote is a good med., ... I'd say, ... for most of those who was just dxed with Bp II, including for those milder form of Bp II, such as yours. On the otherhand, the Lithium is MORE for the manic side of Bp and thus widely rxes for both Bp I and Bp II. However, if you'd like to choose the Lithium-route/med. regimen, I'd recommend to take a low-dosage of A.D.(preferrably an SSRI, such as Prozac, Zoloft and the like, if you're tolerable on), because as I said the above, the Lithium has more for the hypomania/maia(Bp I) with less A.D. effectiveness. Without an A.D., you may feel 'depressive' moods, particularly during the morning-hours.
H.G.
