I like what Ed has to say. If you do try Depakote, make sure you get a blood test *before* you start treatment to establish your baseline liver enzyme levels. Then, go for the same test at 2 weeks and once a month for 6 months. It is just a precaution as Depakote can affect the liver. After six months, the risk of liver toxicity decreases markedly.

I'll also mention Navane (thiothixene) as an antipsychotic. It might quiet your mind without producing brain fog. However, I would try Depakote first.

Good luck.
