Hi Phillipa,
Yes, the Depakote seemed to have been working nicely in conjunction with Effexor + Wellbutrin. I really did not anticipate having any problems with my liver enzymes, but I understand that Depakote is pretty hard on the liver for some.I see my pdoc on Tuesday and will be discussing Trileptal or Tegretol. My understanding is that Trileptal is a weaker version of Tegretol without the (rare) adverse effects (agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia. Both Trileptal and Tegretol are not nearly as researched as lithium or Depakote, but Europe has been using Trileptal for 10 years now. Thanks for your reply! :) AnneL
