I'm slowly creeping up my dosage of depakote for Cyclothemia. My pdoc wants me on a higher dose than normal. (I've always had a VERY high tolerance to medications).
Anyway, I'm now up to 1000mg daily , upped from 750 a few days ago. I've been noticing some things but not sure if it's in my head (no pun intended) or directly from the depakote.The main two things I've been noticing are slight muscle reactions slowing down....i.e. occasionly brushing up against doorwalls, stumbling over a step , etc. The other thing is a bit of akathisia. Talking to people at work, when I'm not interested in their conversation, I get so fed up I just say I have to go do something and take a walk because I can't stand still and listen to somebody babble on. Is this common to beginning a drug such as depakote?
Thanks so much!
