> Would a mood stabilizer such as Depakote or Trileptal help with my sometimes very intense and maybe even paranoid rages? Sometimes I sort of "lose it" and can became quite irrational. That is mostly what I am afraid of...killing myself in a fit of rage or despair. I don't really have any problems with my "highs"...they are quite enjoyable, too bad they don't last longer.

> Would a mood stablizer like an AED even out my mood so that I no longer experience my passionate "highs"...if so, not sure if it is worth it. :-) I only want to get rid of the horrible depressive and rageful episodes.Yes they MAY help you but there is no definite answer for that until you try. I can tell you there is PROBABLY just as much of a chance of losing your nice highs and staying depressed if you started Zyprexa instead.
