I'm switching from Depakote to Lamictal. Every time I've switched drugs (more times than I can count in the last 6 months) it's been difficult, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised. Depakote was relieving symptoms of mania, but not so much my depression or anxiety and caused weight gain (20 pounds in the first 2 weeks or so). As I switch I have become exhausted, weepy and incredibly irritable. I've missed therapy as well as yoga, my havens. Any idea which is the culprit or if/when I can hope for this to end?
