Yeah Phillipa, thinking about my dad could've been the reason for not sleeping.
My dad is still in ICU. He has been vomitting for 10 hours- they said right now his intestines and bowels have been paralyzed and are shut down.
Doctor thinks the infection combined with the diabetes has caused this.
They are running tests on his heart right now- checking to see if a stint could've collapsed.
SO many things and no real answers just yet.
I can't just hop on a plane right now because both of my boy's are sick with the flu/colds.I will have to wait this out and just see what happens.
About the Depakote- I called the pharmacist today that filled the prescription. He said if I have depression and less mania, he would recommend Lamictal over Depakote. He said the Depakote is great for bringing someone down from manic state, but not great for lifting someone out of a depressive state.
So I got his name and will tell my doctor what he said. Maybe he'll listen to a pharmicist.
Thanks everyone!
