I had a meeting with my doctor today to discuss my bipolar disorder and she has given me a sheet "choosing the best mood stabiliser for you."
There's just quick summaries of Lithium, Olanzapine, Lamotrigine, Carbamazepine and the one she would like to try me on, Valproate.
Apparently, a couple side effects of Valproate are weight gain and hair loss. I'm obviously not keen on that :/

I was wondering if anybody has been on Valproate or any of these other mood stabilisers and what their experience of these pills were.
