Brain chemistry is very individual. I don't think there is one med that works for most people. That's why there are so many of them.
I've been on both. Epival I wasn't on very long because I had a reaction. It made my whole body swell up. My doctor said that's rare. Abilify I was on for a couple of years before it stopped working for me. I didn't gain weight on it, but some people do.Pressure makes diamonds....

As mentioned this is very individualized. I took Epival for years and would consider it one of the least bothersome medications to take. I had to stop taking Abilify after a couple weeks because it gave me a restless leg type symptom. Thus, sometimes the side effects can hinder use of a medication. It is trial and error unfortunately

Finding a balance between having a positive response to a drug or drugs, and being able to manage side effects is what it all boils down to. As MissMoods has said, it is a trial and error endeavor.AJ
