HarlockI'm already in the process of weaning off of Depakote but since posting this thread I had to abruptly come off of Lamictal due to a mild case of SJS. Unfortunately, that left me no choice but to continue with the Depakote longer than I wanted to. Today Topamax was added to replace the Lamictal. I haven't started taking it yet, getting the rx filled at the drug store tomorrow.
