> thank you for the suggestion re: dosage and sedation. I am at a larger dose now (150) and the sedation does seem to be better. I appreciate the advice!Hi y'all
I pretty much agree with all of you. I seem to have the most calming "smoothed out" effect around 200mgm However,
my pdoc wants to take me up to 300 or 400mgm as at 200 the effect is not well sustained and the weightloss/appetite
supression is not working. Right now I have the luxury of being able to be at home or where i can "titrate" the dose.
(monitor dose/effect) and my pdoc is very good about this. Hang in there you all. Sorry I can't relate to the Depakote
etc, but this is the first "mood stabalizer" I have ever been on. (I did the mouth sore bit though; Xylocaine 2% from
the family doc worked well-also stay away from toothpastes with sodium (something)laureate.
