Valproate, Carbamazepine, Topiramate, Lamotrigine, Gabapentine and Zyprexa are other choices. But there should be a good reason for switching medication.
Zyprexa is being pushed by Lilly as the “best” choice.
I have had Depakote for 2 years without any success (plus other meds) and my pdoc told me that now it's time to test ECT. But luckily he first decided to test lithium (800mg) together with depakote (800) and it worked. For tremors I use beta blockers when needed and they work fine.

Did the tremors just started? How bad are they?
