Okay, I now get that at the time you DID combine two different forms of Depakote (the Sprinkles which are EC and a small dose of ER).
However, you also said that you took HALF the sprinkles - so did you open up the capsule and sprinkle out what you considered to be half?
And are you on any Depakote now? If so, how much?
As for med sensitivity = cheaper meds, NOPE, it is the OPPOSITE - the lower doses cost MORE than the higher ones! The way around it if they can be cut (Depakote tabs are too frigging big; they're like horse pills) is to get the pdoc to prescribe a higher dose, then cut them in half or quarters if possible.
