I find that Depakote works great for bipolar II mania, but not so much for depression. Some people feel somewhat more depressed on Depakote.
In the past, lithium had been the most popular augmenter of Parnate. As an augmenter, one needs only to take a relatively low dosage - 300-600 mg/day. It might stabilize mood "drift" in depression, but actually feels like an antidepressant if it hits the right target.
Trileptal is a good choice if you start experimenting with mood-stabilizers. It is weight-neutral and is not sedating.
Well, let's take just one step at a time.
Good luck.
