> When I was first diagnose Bipolar I was put on Depakote. It did really good except my levels wouldn't go up. I was on 2500 mg with no levels showing up in my blood test. They put me in a psych unit and made me take the liquid because they thought I wasn't taking it.. YUCKERS. Taste like Robitussin! But I did feel the effects. I did feel better. But since they couldn't read my levels I had to go off it. It is a good drug. Give it a try. Stay on it for as long as they want you to because it may take a while to get the dosage right. Good Luck. We are here for ya!
