When I said pdocs use things off-label, I meant they routinely use Depakote and other meds for both depression and hypo/mania even if they are not FDA approved specifically for one or the other. But it is common practice, and has been done for a long time among the profession. It’s not a new or unsafe practice. They do it all the time. Half of my meds are prescribed off-label.

You do not have to be in a manic episode to take Depakote, but I know you have been having other issues since you started taking it tho. You should talk to your pdoc about those things

I already told her about my anxiety which has gotten better now. I don't know if it is because of the peppermint and chamomille tea. I told her that I am always tired and more so than before. I feel relieved about my weight but will ask her about it.

Keep the lines of communication open. That's all you can do

I think it's wonderful that the tea is helping!!!

I'm sorry that you are so uncomfortable all the time. I know that you are worried, and frustrated (((HUGS)))

Here is a link to a page that has suggestions about things that can trigger IBS symptoms, and some things that you can eat that may be easier on your stomach:

IBS Triggers and Prevention: Irritable Bowel Syndrome Food to Avoid & Triggers

I think that it's a good idea that you postponed the upper endoscopy. You just had the colonoscopy, and that was very stressful for you (((HUGS)))

I'm so glad you have your AC.
What book are you reading now?
