I'm affective bipolar, being for 2 months with lithium, hypothyroidism, and had 2 depressive episode. now added valproate, is concerned if that's ok?

Should be OK: Lithium and valproate are often given together. There is no significant interactions. You may want to keep a close watch on your thyroid function. Thanks.
