Hi,
Thanks for writing to us,
Depression in a case of bipolar disorder or a person with propensity to develop bipolarity usually requires a mood stabilizer which is sodium valproate in your case along with an antidepressant c pram. These two drugs do not cause addiction or dependence even on taking for a long time. Petril may cause dependence if taken for a long time. You may consult your doctor and stop petril if it is not required.
Hope this helps,
Dr A Rao
