Bobby,

I hope that you have a good day Saturday.

Thank you. I don't know if it is the depakote or reduction in klonopin that is making me feel so awful. She said the depakote should help with the reduction. I have been having such vivid dreams that they are interfering with a peaceful sleep. I am so tired. I am going to bed early but as usual waking up like at two or three. eventually I got back to bed.I played a josh groban album. I feel so isolated but just want to stay in my bed. It is even hard to get the mail which I had trouble with for years but finally over came it. My leg was finally feeling better but last night when I woke up it was so painful and had trouble walking but it went away with aleve. I don't think I like depakote. It also usually causes weight gain ugh

How long have you been on Depakote?
You may want to write down all the problems you are having with it so that you don't forget anything when you see your pdoc.
You sound depressed to me, so maybe it's not worth the side effects (((HUGS)))

I'm glad that the Aleve is helping with the pain in your leg

I think i have been on it for six weeks. She started me on a low dose. It is inferring with my antidepressant.

What dose are you on and I wonder what dose she wants you to taper up to? What is a maintenance dose?

i started at 125 for a week and then 125 in morning and night and then 125 in morning and 250 at night. maintenance will be 125 and 375. actually maintenance might be higher. were you ever on it?

I was on it along long time ago.
can't remember any thing about it really.
sorry

i just read that depakote treats the manic phase of bipolar-it didn't mention anxiety or depression. I DON'T HAVE A MANIC PHASE-just anxiety and depression. it is making me feel worse and more tired. I am just making peppermint tea to help my stomach.
