> Today, my pdoc gave me samples of Depakote -- 250 mg extended release. He wants me to take up to 4 tablets per day for the next few days to bring me out of my anxious state. I am somewhat apprehensive about doing this. I guess it's my natural fear of that now I've moved beyond the "safe" and "normal" drugs like SSRI's into the "scary" world of mood stabilizers. My pdoc says we will probably switch to Lamictal sooner or later but wants to start on this. Any thoughts or advice?

>Would it help if I said that the SSRI world isn't all that safe or normal? :) I actually feel that a lot of the mood stabilizers are safer than SSRI's.
