i took depakote for epilepsi and i know its used for people who are bipolar too. there must be some common thing that stabalizes your brain. i wish i knew the exact answer.

anti-epileptics are essentially tranquilizers. by calming your body it makes it easier to handle mood swings.-blurey

The only thing I ever took was Lithium and it works fine for me. I get a little moody sometime bit that is it.
