Wow Jake, that is a med combo.

I have tried all of those drugs separately.

I took Depakote (divaloprex DR) for 3 days. I stopped it because of bad abdominal pain. I wasn't eating. Also, I seemed to be more emotionally labile on it, although I don't know if that is just because I was miserable from the abdomnial pain and stomach upset.

Lamictal I have tried to get on several times, never getting over 25mg. Most recently, when I tried it I noticed that I was having trouble expressing myself and finding words.

Zoloft-tried a few times, never for more than a week. Awful activation on it, just like every other SSRI I have tried, even at 12.5mg and 5mg. (you can see my post on "Is this anti-depressant mania" to read more about my issues with SSRIs)

Abilify-activated me like an anti-depressant does, but as a bonus it made me feel dumb and blank like all the other atypicals do as well. (only at 2.5mg or 5mg) again, for less than a week.

Perhaps a combination of meds would be good for me. Problem is my doctor doesn't want to prescribe more than one at a time and individually they all seem to give me issues.
