When I experienced antidepressant-induced mania, I needed a minimum of 1000mg of Depakote to exert an anti-manic effect. For me, the therapeutic effect is quite robust, and is more reliable than lithium. I currently receive antidepressant and mood stabilization benefits from lithium at a dosage of 300mg.
For bipolar depression, I currently take:
Nardil 90mg
nortriptyline 150mg
Lamictal 200mg
Abilify 10mg
lithium 300mgDo you think it would be worth adding valproate?

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
