Hi,
I read Mitch's reply and really agree with his outlook on Prozac- if you reduce or get off I'm sure you could lower the depakote, the first time I took it I was hospitalized with a psychotic manic attack (in 2 days!) Klonopin is the only med that I have continued on throughout my pregnancy, in the 2nd trimester I did use depakote for a manic episode (after having a normal amnio) and then just a few days. I also use opiates for depresssion but I'm tapering now. I cannot take AD's without becoming manic. I think everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop after birth- I had a psychotic depresion when my son was born. Despite some serious symptoms, I will always keep my regime simple- heavy psychotherapy (so I trust my pdoc enough to contact him when manic), klonopin for bipolar/panic- I got used to sedation after about a month and I take 6mg/day and treat episodes when they occur- depakote for mania, opiates for depression. I keep it simple now- after years of being on 6+ meds. Take care- judy
