Hi, I wanted to ask about mood stabilizers that aren’t lithium, specifically Depakine Chrono. I’ve been on it for 8 months (since I got my diagnosis (type2)). I’m 20 and also on Seroquel. My psych seems hesitant to put me on lithium but I’ve been wondering whether I should ask her about it because even though I’m better than pre diagnosis, I still don’t feel stable. Should I or should I just wait at least until it’s been a year since my diagnosis (I’ve heard it sometimes takes time to settle)? 
Any advice is appreciated:)
