[QUOTE="klmno, post: 245214, member: 3699"] It depends on the specific problems/symptoms being exhibited. Plus, these react differently on different people. Lamictol is good for more depressive signs, is my understanding. Lithium is the old standard and works well on my son where mania/raging/lack of sleep are involved. Depakote worked well for hypomania/anxiety symptoms (excessive talking, hyperness), but seemed to contribute to raging. Both lithium and depakote (can't remember about lamictol) required blood tests. It might be good to find a psychiatrist you are comfortable with and let them propose one. It isn't fun to find what works with minimal side effects, then have to add another to take care of whatever the first one didn't take care of, which doesn't always happen but happens a lot. Then, every time there's a growth spurt and burst of testosterone it seems like the medications ended up being re-evaled. [/QUOTE]
