Hun,
don't worry about not writing screeds, It is nice that you even read my ramblings. I totally understand how it is when you are so low yourself. To give advice to others feels like a major task. I find that even thinking can bring on another blast of low.
I do hope the ECT works for you if you decide to go for it. I think that when you are so low, anything is worth a try. You are so brave hun and I am so full of admiration for you.
Sodium Valproate is the same as Depakote. They don't routinely test your levels here like they do for lithium. I will ask doc on Friday about that.
I haven't been on Lamictal, but apparently Sodium Valproate is the one to go for for rapid cycling.
I am fairly upbeat at present and slightly on edge at the prospect of going down again. I pray pray pray that this will be me now, even and stable.
Hippy
