> Can you tell me how bad the withdrawal is from the Depakote and would you think there would be a danger of convulsions (never had them before). Colin has indicated the same approach you recommend and I am grateful to you both. Just a little worried. I have been going through this mess for 13 months......its getting real old.

Well, from my short experience with Depakote (4 months at 750 mg), i got off completely of Depakote in 1 day. I had absolutely no problem to cease this med. In fact, i was better than ever (not hypomanic). Nope, no convulsion at all. If there is one thing i would "fear" (a little), it is the rebound of anxiety and/or hypomania. To be careful, take a benzo with you.

However, i think you might talk of your "project" to your doc/pdoc. We never know...

Good luck!
