In reply to non-sedating med for BP2?, posted by Lyrical13 on July 18, 2004, at 10:33:22
Hmmmmm... that's a tough one... I've personally found depakote to work the best to really keep my moods stable, but you're right; it does make you sleepy as hell. Lamictal and Lithium are both somewhat more activating, but they might not be the right drugs alone or in combination to help as much as the depakote. I dunno, for some depakote seems to help a lot more, for others Lithium. Regardless, maybe you could try adding a mildly stimulating med like Provigil or Strattera instead of switching to something that might not work as well. Good luck!
