bobby, have you ever tried lamictal as your mood stabilizer. It is supposed to help with the rebound nature of bipolar. have an antidepressant effect.

Default zonegran

Given Zonegran's heavy hit on cognitive functions, high rate of SUDEP, and relative novelty as a mood stabilizer, you're far better off exhausting all the other usual options before turning to this one.
I don't like the sound of it especially after memory issues with cymbalta but thank you

Wow, I didn't know it was high hit on SUDEP. My son took it and its
use with cognitive was lots better than with lamictal. It was a good
medicine for him.

But it wasn't one that he could take alone. Like the dilantin is now.
