Did you try these meds one at a time or in combination with each other? For BP2 one med by itself won't do it. You will most likely need a combination of meds. Some of the mood stabilizers are supposed to work on their own (Lamictal, Lithium, Trileptal, Depakote) but that is not necessarily the case. I found that I couldn't take Lamictal (got a rash), Depakote caused depression and made me a complete slug...wanted to sleep ALL the time and such a zombie even when awake, not to mention teh weight gain. Now am on Trileptal and so far it is OK but am also taking Celexa during my more depressed time of year (now) for the depression aspect. But according to my pdoc, the jury is out on using AD's for bipolar depression...some say it causes mania. Others say it's OK to use.

Good luck. I'm in kind of the same boat. My list isn't quite as long as yours but I'm worried I'll be in the same situation!
