Don't have experience but I've never read much that said any of the bipolar drugs (except lithium and lamictal) did much for the down swing. Until recently, bipolar depression wasn't given much attention. But I think most recent studies suggest a combo, say depakote or lamictal with effexor or zoloft, works best. Your doctor should know that.
