Judy:
Thanks so much for your reply. I remember you had said that Depakote made you depressed in an earlier thread.
I just got a second set of tests done for my blood level - don't know what it is, yet, but the last test, when I was at 1000 mg, was apparently quite low according to my pdoc. I am a rapid cycling, BPII by diagnosis.
Anyhoo, in general, do you stay on anything in between taking the Depakote for mania? I realize it is probably different when pregnant - but maybe not. I think you are our residential mother-to-be. :)
Did you find that you needed to end any treatment after becoming pregnant? What do you plan on once the baby is born? Going back to your old med plan?
Have you taken Klonopin? If so, was it sedating for you? That seems to be my downfall...
Well, there 'er a few ?'s. Thanks!
