Any other options?

Depakote can be kind of rough. Risperdal isn't so great, either; as "atypical" antipsychotics go, it might be the least "atypical" (meaning an EPS/TD risk closer to, say, Haldol than to Clozaril). Have you tried any sedatives---something like Ambien for sleep, or a benzo (serax, valium, xanax, klonopin, tranxene, ativan) for anxiety? Anxiety and hypomania can have a lot of overlap, so maybe a tranquilizer would get the job done w/o having to use a neuroleptic like Risperdal.

Good luck.
