> Up the lithium dose to 900 for a while and find a great therapist if you have not already. It may also be worth considering adding 500 mg of Depakote and keeping on lithium at 450 mg. Don't bother with the seroquel, it's just not worth it.

> A more paleo or primal diet has helped me quite a bit. It might be worth looking into. Mark's Daily Apple is a great resource if you are serious about primal eating/living.Suggesting adding depakote may look like it flies in the face of my recent anti-polypharmacy posts. I think 3 good meds at the right doses is perfectly o.k. I believe 90 percent of patients, if they give themselves time, and do other good things for themselves, will not ever have to take more than 3 medications.
