> I AM planning to both INCREASE the Depakote (though maybe to 375 like you suggested - is there a 125 ER Tablet?) and TAPER OFF the Klonopin only because I KNOW that the Klonopin is doing NOTHING for me and I had a successful gradual taper about a year ago before a witch of a new pdoc put me right back on it during a time when I was too weak to fight her.
Oh, I understood that you were going to do both at the same time. I didn't realize however that you had an easy time of it the last time you discontinued Klonopin. I just thought it might be easier on you if you waited until you had been on the higher Depakote dosage for one-two weeks before you started the Klonopin taper. Yes, they make 125mg Depakote tablets. They are convenient for smaller dose changes. Let us know how the cross-taper goes.
