I appreciated your input. I am BP2 and have been on Depakote for nine months. Due to the side effects and a tremendous weight gain my Pdoc has switched me to Lamictal at a very slow pace. He will then decrease my Depakote. I thought I would be able to just be on the Lamictal as I do not want to be on more than one med. He has explained to me that he may need to add another mood stablizer if needed. I see here that BP2's often need more than one med.
I am a bit more accepting of this now due to input that I am reading on these boards. I sure appreciate all of the experience people are sharing!
