In reply to manic-depression--meds?, posted by katie on July 5, 1999, at 15:04:57
Well, I have been diagnosed for over five years now and I have been on depakote and welbutrine. I would not recomend the depakote if you are sensitive to weightgain as I am. Actually I am currently looking to find a new med to take also because of this side effect. The welbutrine helps with the depression part, but I am not sure what your doctor can mix that with besides depakote to make the manic phases calm down a bit. Hope that helps. Let me know if you hear of anything else also!
Best of luck (to both of us) JEN : )
