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

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.

The morning and evening dosage should as far as I know be say 250 and 250. Like Dan takes 500 and 500 it does work on depression also. I honestly dont know about it working on anxiety. Ignore my typing, now what are you taking that you call your antidepressant, because this is too. Donna

Most mood stabilizers can work for both depression and mania, but I guess some of them are better for BPI or II. I thought that Depakote was prescribed more for patents with BPI, but I'm not a pdoc, so what do I know?
Some meds do have added benefits like reducing anxiety. I take Seroquel, which is one of them. Maybe Depakote helps some people with anxiety, too. It seems that you are NOT be one of them tho. Drugs effect people differently. I know that you see your pdoc soon, but could you call her to tell her how terrible you are feeling? This just may not be the med for you I hope you feel better Bobby (((HUGS))) Did the peppermint tea help? |
