Discontinuing Depakote

Posted by HMK on September 6, 2002, at 8:40:21

I'm a bipolar II who takes Effexor XR, Depakote, and Risperdal. I've gained something like 40 lbs since starting Depakote and I can't put up with it anymore. Risperdal has been an amazing drug for me and really helps with my mood stabilization- much more than the Depakote ever has. I want to discontinue the Depakote and try just using Risperdal and Effexor but am wondering if there will be any withdrawal effects from going off the drug that I should know about. Can anyone advise? I can't get ahold of my doctor. Thanks!
