I think I will finally be able to be stabilized does anyone have any good success with sodium valporate?

Hi all I went into a depressive state and thanks to the support on here I got help they saw that I flipped into mania and are putting me on sodium valporate they have also changed my diagnosis from cPTSD with bipolar 2 to cPTSD with bipolar 1 so hopefully when I go on my new mood stabilizer I will start to settle and stay settled but what are people's experiences with sodium valporate and bipolar 1 and if you have cPTSD as well did it upset that or did it help the symptoms of that as well I'm doing much better now thanks to everyone on here for supporting me so much this is a great subreddit full of people that support each other and when I'm stable I look forward to giving back to the community that helped me thank you all so much
