In reply to bipolar meds for me, if i dont have bp - issues?, posted by becksA on April 3, 2006, at 16:55:41
Depakote seems like a pretty harsh medication if your Dx is only tentative. It's good for certain unipoles and bipoles, esp. with anxiety. But yeah, there are side effects (weight gain being the main one).
Are you on any other meds? Also, I wonder why he didn't try out something like Lamictal, which tends to be more tolerable and effective for these question-mark bipolars.
