In reply to Nardil + Valproi Acid (Depakote,Epival )..anybody, posted by Tepiaca on January 22, 2004, at 22:21:15
Well...it does seem strange that he's trying this even though you're not bipolar. BUT he may just be ahead of the curve. Depakote can work really well for dysphoric mania/mixed states. I know some pdocs in my area have been successfully using Neurontin, also a "mood stabilizer" like Depakote, for treatment of anxiety. I was on Depakote last year and found it definitely mentally relaxing, with and without Nardil. If it's to treat anxiety/SP, you might even be able to get away with a really low dose and thus avoid any side-effects!
Good luck,
KM
