Hi BarbaraCat.

> I hope Depakote works for you. Unfortunately it did not for me. I have severe mixed-states bipolar depression, probably Bipolar I, and do well on lithium, as long as I can reasonably manage worry and stress. I'm also hypothyroid so my docs ocasionally insist on trying something besides lithium, but I always return to it.

If you are inclined to attempt to replace lithium again, you might want to give Lamictal a try. You can begin taking it and wait a few months at a therapeutic dosage (200mg) before removing the lithium very, very gradually. Doing this over the course of months might prevent triggering a relapse and establish a propylaxis with Lamictal.

Be well.
