Hey ST,
thanks for sharing your experience about coming on and off these numerous meds.
it's definitely disconcerting to feel less thought activity when i'm not actively seeking that through meditation or relaxation.
i would like at some point to take a drug vacation to see where i'm at without them now. last time i did it though, i couldn't really function after 3 weeks med-free. i think i will have to wait for a time that i can be off work and school for a significant period of time, and then try it out.
anyways, i'm no longer tapering depakote as the replacement med had very negative side effects -- made me cry and such. i have to wait another week for the neurologist to get back from vacation before we try something new. (the depakote is more for migraines than anything else, but i'd like to deal with some GAD too).
