It depends on your symptom profile and past treatment response to decide which drug is better in your case. Both drugs have their own individual side effects. Consult with a psychiatrist for any changes you want. Don't start/stop any medicine on your own.

Kindly don’t shift mood stabiliser by yourself, Lithium vs valproate depends on your symptom profile as well as past improvement. Both are equally efficacious
