Dear lybrate-user, divalproxin and lamitec are good mood stabilisers. If you continue to take them with regular follow up with the psychiatrist, you will not make further losses. Please keep a mood chart daily and take it to the psychiatrist whenever you go for the consultation. It will show how much your mood has been stabilised and how long you stay in a normal mood. After checking for the side effects, the psychiatrist will adjust the dose of mood stabilisers. Lithium can work with lamitec. In your case, whether it is suitable or not will be decided after discussing with the doctor.
