I have heard people say Lamictal was a good AD for them- but where they bipolar? That's the real question?
Lamictal seemed to be too activating for me; overstimulating and caused horrible anxiety for me.
Depakote is a mood stabilizer and it seemed to really help me calm down. I describe it as a giving my brain a nice, warm bath.
I think for some people mood stabilizer can almost cause depression or make it worse.
I think it depends on the person, their rx, etc..
Good luck!
