Yeah I hear that. The sad truth is that basically everything you can possibly be prescribed for your ailments is going to be bad for your liver. The other thing about the injection is that there is no way you're going to get an everyday injection, and to my knowledge it still contains the components that are harmful to your liver. Just the way it goes. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's still in there. Generally though, the injections will be given every other week intervals or greater lengths of time. It wont be a daily thing. Lithium is indeed your livers worst enemy, and I don't recommend ever taking it unless you want to be a zombie. It's a horrible horrible thing. And horrible horrible for you. I'm under the impression liver deterioration is going to happen no matter what you take, but I think the severe liver shit that happens from lithium isn't common from depakote. It's definitely less harmful.
I really say it depends on how bad your manic tendencies are. If you're anything like I have been in the past it's manageable with hard work and some lifestyle changes. If you don't think it's manageable go with medication, but understand that's not the responsible part. That shit sets you back to zero. It's your responsibility to overhaul your shit and work on whatever's misfiring and try to work towards some sanity. There's always the chance that down the road you don't really need to be taking anything.
