Alikat,
You may find it helpful if you have any questions about your medication, to write them down. Next time you see your pharmacist or physician, take out the list.

Hi Alikat,
I looked up Epival on the internet and it is an anti-convulsant sometimes prescribed to rapid-cycle depressives like ourselves; it seems to have anti-manic properties. I was prescribed Tegretol which is similar(?) long ago for a combination complaint about chronic pain and depression. It served me well for about a year when I was working gung-ho at a sales job... should be good for the manic highs in BPII Good luck with it. And best of luck with the programme at the local mental health clinic. We'd love to hear how you progress with the group therapy and the meds.
Later
Went to my family doctor yesterday, he sent me for blood tests, etc. and is getting me into the programs at the local mental health clinic. He feels I am Type II Bipolar (runs in my family, though spread out).
I have to start on Epival tonight and keep on the Effexor I'm taking for now, will wean off the Effexor in a couple weeks when my body stabilizes.
Anyone else used Epival?
