HELP! Switching from Lamictal to Depakote

Posted by Janelle on March 30, 2002, at 2:21:29

Well, ever since I began titrating up on the Lamictal (I'm VERY sensitive to meds, even tiny doses - argh!) I have become increasingly anxious and agitated to such an extreme point I've been scared I was going to *lose it*. Anyway, given no other changes in my meds, the pdoc thinks the Lamictal (perhaps in combo with the Effexor) may be setting me off.
SOOOOOOOOO, I'm off the Lamictal and will start Depakote tomorrow.
Could one/some of you brilliant people here explain the BASIC difference(s) between these two meds - how each one works, each one's side effects. I really need a comparison of the two please! Thanks very much.
