> So I have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Believe it or not, it is the first time I have received this diagnosis. But it does fit. I suspected I had it but I ask my psychiatrist and he said I didn't. I don't think I have an extreme case of BPD, but I do meet the DSM criteria.

> ANYHOW, the pscyhiatrist wanted me to try lithium or depakote for my impulsiveness. I have been on both meds before and depakote gave me a rash and lithium made me throw up no matter which dosage I was on.

> Are there any other meds that might help?
