Hey FB,

If it was 150 3X a day of Depakote, that was a pretty small dose, and would not be effective for sleep or mood stabilization. You would also need something to go along with it for depression, which would also help keep depakote from numbing too much. I totally understand your position, forgot about the endocrine issues you have.

You kinda gotta give Lamictal a shot right? I was at 125 at the highest. I experienced the weird speech stuff starting at 100. I think it's worth a shot for you, I'm just one person. You may do very well. You may also be able to lower the Emsam dose. I suspect MAOIs of any sort will be too stimulating for you.

I would be curious to see what the addition of 300 mg lithium would do after you hit the target dose for Lamictal. Who knows, maybe Lamictal is the monotherapy you've been looking for. Still, a low dose of lithium has so much potential to do good for the brain, it might still be worth considering-maybe even just 150 mg at bedtime.
