In reply to Started on Depakote, any advice?, posted by Greg on August 28, 2000, at 19:48:51
Greg,
Is it for a hypomanic state? If so, it works great. For me it worsened depression, and at doses that brought my blood level above 80 made me nauseous and depressed- but certainly not manic. Of the big 3- lithium, tegretol and depakote, I think depakote has the lowest side-effect profile. Try to have your pdoc keep your blood levels around 50 and maybe this will be the one for you. I wish you all the best- Judy
