Hi Lucy,
Right now I'm taking depakote, neurontin (another anti-convulsant- which doesn't seem to worsen depression and is fairly calming- you might want to ask your pdoc), klonopin and risperdal (an atypical neuroleptic). I was dxed borderline when I was in my 20's in addition to bipolar, but find as I get older (30's) my symptoms aren't as intense. I'm going through a stressful time right now which has worsened my rages and cutting- the risperdal has helped me a great deal for those symptoms. I just hope you have a really good therapist- I swear that's as important as meds in BPD. Take care, Judy
