Hi Judy

Do you know why benzos would be tried before depakote? I occasionally take klonopin - but I really don't want to go the benzo route. I would like to go travelling one day - and don't want to go through the experience of it wearing off in the middle of nowhere. I also don't know how other countries are about prescribing them (would like to live in the UK again someday).

Thanks
Jackie

> Absolutely- my shrink prescribes it all the time for his patients that don't respond well to benzos, which doesn't sound like you (you have a problem with taking them? too bad, because they work really well). Anyway he feels that seizures-panic-bipolar are related and that's why depakote as an AED works well just like the benzo klonopin, also an AED. I take in the >1000mg range so lots of side-effects on depakote but I have the manic/panic thing going on. best of luck- judy
