Dear Waves,
Thanks for answering the citrus question again.
I forget it because I like limes much better than lemons. :D

That's ok. I can learn to like lemon juice.

I imagine that one day I will not need the meds and will not need to take food and other various precautions. I will be all better. I keep telling myself that.

Here is a list of the meds that I took that were affected. Buspar, depakote and dalmane. All my stabilizers. I was a nervous, aggitated wreck for days and still my body isn't back to where it should. I'm not eating right. Lunch is a toss up lately...don't feel like eating.

Depakote is hard on some people...
 
Just by itself.
Here is a monograph:

Does your doctor test your liver regularly?
Depakote can screw up liver functions in some people.

Also with time Depakote can lower carnitine levels in the body. So you can
ask for a carnitine test. In some people this can become extreme, and deaths have occurred.

Thank you Mrs. D. I am tested regularly. Actually I think I am due for my check in a month or so.
