Can Mirtazapine And Depakine Chromo Be Taken Together?

I am currently taking Depakine Chromo 500mg, one at night and one in the morning for Bi-Polar . Because of my depression I am also taking one pill every night of Mirtazapine 45mg. Should I be taking the antidepressant along with the Depakine? Could this make my Bi-Polar worst? Please respond quickly. Thank you.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As you recently started Mirtazapine and concerned about it's effects on Bipolar, definitely Mirtazapine as a role in shifting depression to hypomania or mania. One trail which can be done is to take lower Strength of Mirtazapine and wait that you are relieved of Depression and do keep in touch with your dearest to identify the change in your symptoms so that Consulting psychiatrist will become easy. Taking Tab Lurasidone might help you in Bipolar depression and also not switching to Mania.

Hope I solved your query and feel free to ask any further.
Thank you
