Due to her concern about weight gain with lithium carbonate, she was treated with divalproex and olanzapine. As an outpatient, Ms G was taking divalproex (750 mg, twice daily) and bupropion hydrochloride (150 mg, twice daily). She recognized the ongoing need for medications, but hoped to get off them over time. She wondered what other treatment modalities might be available to her.
