That sounds like a lot of medication but its actually not. Some people take 3000 mg of Depakote in divided doses for Intermittent Explosive Disorder.

> I have been prescribed Depakote...My dosage is 500mg
> for 5 days...1000mg next five days...1500 after that... I am scared that this is a lot of med to be taking(of course I would swallow an elephant if it can stop the insanity) I guess I am just looking for some hand holding. I am also on 300mg of wellbutrin. Any hints on evaluating my doc...he seems competent but I have no basis to judge.
