Psychostimulants .. suspected bipolar

Posted by BygoneBeSpade on October 23, 2013, at 9:37:26

Are psycostimulants added to divalproex er a good idea for suspected bipolar consisting of severe depression, severe agitation and destructive (objects) rage episodes + affective instability (severe crying episodes and severe irritability)? Would it help depression without destabilizing the rage issue?

(I was on Risperidone 3mg. Now since today I have started Divalproex ER 500mg once daily hoping it will help the rage. I have taken it once before years ago but stopped due to it not helping that much at 500mg, but that's a low dose, so this time I want to get to a therapeutic level. So I want to know if a stimulant for depression can be added in the future.)
