> What about Lithium and Depakote?
I never try them. I know the Lithium will not be very helpful for the anxiety but I remember that I read somewhere that the Depakote was good for agitation/anxiety for bipolar 2 type. I think it's working on the Gaba system, increasing the level of Gaba in the brain no and also inhibiting NE level in the brain, who mean maybe less anxiety from the noradrenaline? If it's true, the Gabapentin and Lyrica do the same thing no, for what I know and read? I also try the Sabril med, only available in the Canada but think it's now out in the USA also, it's another med who work on the Gaba system and had no improve on it...had more panic on it...
Anyway, I will ask my Family Doc about the Depakote, maybe it will work better than the Gabapentin and will help to reduce the benzo meds dose? I need to know what my Family Doc think about that since I know it can be a dangerous med if not well dosed in the blood...
Thank you for your suggestions ;-)
