How do you feel on your current combo? Still depressed, tired, or anxious or all three?

Maybe adding Lamictal could help augment the Depakote?

I feel for you. I feel like I've been through the ringer trying all these meds, and I need low doses also. But keep trying! We'll find the right cocktail one of these days.
