HELP! BiPolar2 with severe depr and mild mania:

Posted by Janelle on May 6, 2002, at 21:40:06

I have been diagnosed as BiPolar2, and in my case I have SEVERE depression but only mild mania episodes.
I'm trying to find a mood stabilizer that would be most effective for this particular set of symptoms. Failed miserably on Lamictal (induced intense anxiety) and Depakote (induced more and more depression).
Any ideas? I'd like to find a mood stabilizer that works more on the depression side of BiPolar2 than on the mania side, since I have much more of depression than mania - would Neurontin be a good next one for me to try?
Thanks to whoever can help out!
