her office is closed on friday. It is more like indigestion. I looked up how to get off of Depakote and it said to taper. I didn't raise the dosage since I was feeling so rotten. I am about on the initial dosage and it might not be hard to get off of it since I haven't been on it that long I don't know why I need a mood stabilizer since the antidepressant and the klonopin were working. I don't know if I ever had a manic phase and that it what it is prescribed for. right now i am depressed.i forgot that i had stomach issues before. this is really uncomfortable. i had stomach problems when i was under a lot of stress and Pudgey was sick and I was switching psychiatrists. I totally lot my appetite and lost 18 pounds.
