Better to take medicine if no side effects. For side effects related issues consult your psychiatrist for better medicine. ECT won't help much. Better to consult your psychiatrist for advice

Despite ECT a mood stabiliser would be needed even on long run if the doctor thinks your condition requires a mood stabiliser. If you have problem with valproate it can be changed to another mood stabiliser.

Please consult a psychiatrist for drug change
