Hello Ecarilo, Its nice to meet you and welcome to the board. I really cant answer that question because Im not a Dr. but I can tell you what I take. I take Depakote twice a day and Lamictal once a day. I also have Lorazapam for anxiety and Lunesta to help me sleep. Ive been stable for quite a while now. I hope you find your answer.
