I have mild BP2 and mild OCD. Trileptal has been a good drug for me, though not for monotherapy. It just doesn't have enough of an antidepressant effect. Depakote made me gain 30 lbs in 2 years. Lamictal brightened my mood a bit, but after 6-8 weeks I got a rash and my pdoc made me quit. I'm not sure if it might have started to activate me a little, or make me a little agitated or anxious by that time, too. Wasn't on it long enough to be sure. If you tend more toward depression, it might be a good choice.
