Thanks Teach and Nan for your replys. It seems from what I have read that Lithium is better for bi polar with more depression. Depakote is better for bi polar with more mania. That being said Depakote would be better for my daughter because she doesn't have much depression. It seems she experienced a lot of swelling in her hands and face with Lithium. More like puffiness.
