So, I ended up feeling worse on no Depakote than I did on 250 mg (ER). A bit more agitated and anxious on none, and with 250 I don't feel the depression like I did at doses of 750 mg+. I'm experimenting with going back up to 500, but comes with annoying sexual side effects, and only a moderate additional decrease in agitation.
So for now I think I'll stick with 250 and add an occasional extra dose...

> Are you off Depakote ER now? I'm soft BPII if anything, so this was a stretch just to see how I would respond to it. Lamictal isn't very consistant and Topamax actually was similar to Depakote but 2x worse.
