HP, my racing thoughts involve music and whatnot, drives me absolutely nuts when it gets aggravated. Trileptal has helped but I'm hoping for more results. I'm really wanting to mix Depakote in but am scared of all the nasty side effects.. I guess thats a price to be paid for emotional comfort.

> In my experience along with from the reading/hearing, .... a small dosage, a 250 mg. does NOT help 'racing thoughts.' Because, 'racing thoughts' sounds like 'rapid cycler' that means cycling from depression to manic alternatively more than twice a day, ... that's in my case tho'. But, some BPer's cycle more slow-pace, ... on weekly, even monthly basis.

> I know VERY well 'racing thoughts' is truly bothersome, however as I said the above, I do NOT think a small dosage, a 250 mg. Depakote, either regular or ER alleviates 'racing thoughts' you have. Most of cases, it's needed to be more than at least 500 mg.
