Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The two mood stabilizers you are on i.e lithium and divalproex are bothin sub optimal doses and there is no reason why you should be exposed to the risk of both mood stabilizers when you can stay symptom free with even a single moos stabilizer in optimal dosages. Similarly you are on two hypnotics when only one should be sufficient. More the drugs more the side-effects. You should get a regular CBC done, with a kidney function test.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
