Bipolar Disorde
"I was diagnosed with bipolar type II almost 2 months ago at age 40. It was long over due.  My psychiatrist started me on Depakote 250 mg twice a day and Wellbutrin SR 150 mg in the morning. Also take trazodone or Ambien to sleep.  

I can tell that my moods are much more stable on Depakote, no more hypomania and staying up a week at a time. It&#039;s a relief to get back to much more normal, but I do miss the hypomania in many ways (I work full time, have a family and go to graduate school for a double masters degree-- hypomania was great with those things at once).  I am still on Depakote 250 mg twice a day. Depakote will change my life as long as my body tolerates it. I&#039;m trying to deal with the ravenous appetite. Up 10 lbs already."
