I am considering coming off depakote. I do not look forward to headaches or tremors. I will see my dr. dec. 8 to see about this. meanwhile I have gone to a naturopathic and certified herbalist to help me come off the depakote. She tells me flower oils are good for manic bi-polar, so I am taking those. I have been on this vitamin and herb therapy for 2 wks. I will keep you posted as to the results. I am glad you are out there for me to confer with and here how you are doing and to find out your findings.
Has anyone else taken any vitamin and herb therapy? Would like very much to hear about it. thank you, Ruth p.s. I have been taking 1000 mg of depakote a day for 2 mo. I have gained 15 to 20 lbs. and gone up one dress size, so I'm coming off it. I have had good results as far as my emotions go, my 1st blood level was 87 and I will hear about my 2nd dec. 8. Ruth
