Thanks Link. These are legitimate questions that I am seeking answers to as well. I was on many AD's and I have suffered greatly (and have chronic problems)as a result. I am lucky that my pdoc is not pushing for more mood stabs. On a tiny dose of lithium I had a severe reaction. On Depakote, I slept all the time. I was asleep more than I was awake. I am overjoyed that some people are getting help that were misdiagnosed but I do wonder how many 'misdiagnosed' bipolar cases were created by the cycling that AD can cause. There is a very nice discourse in a book by Jim Phelps on this. He's definitely on the 'spectrum' side but he has been brave enough to pose this very question.
