I don't know how to interpret this.
Depakote or antipsychotic? 10 years ago, I would have easily chosen Depakote first. However, I now feel that most atypical antipsychotics are generally safe. I guess Risperdal would be the exception when used at dosages above 3mg. If you do decide upon trying Depakote, it is advisable to test for liver enzymes during the first 6 months. I think Depakote has become an overlooked drug.
