Just quit--
didn't take it last night.was only taking 250mg ER (i'm also sensitive) but WOWWWWW IT FEELS GOOD TO BE ALIVE AGAIN!!
no i'm not manic, I just went for a run lol--
aerobic exercize + nature (being outside) + my favorite music (ipod) always gives me a rush..but it's the lack of depakote that made me actually feel compelled to DO something enjoyable!
On a more serious note, in my opinion valproate is like mind control. I was the one who asked to be put on it (needed a mood stabilizer and other options were unfavorable).. but WOW I didn't think it possible that in a short time of 2 weeks one could completely forget what it was like to feel pleasure at all.. all the while having not realized what the drug had done to my quality of life.. honestly if it weren't for the fact that my other medications both began to lose efficacy for what they were treating and that it happened within the past 2 weeks.. who knows how long it would be before I FELT again..
Sorry if any of you are being helped by the drug. to say the LEAST: it is NOT for me!can't wait for my system to readjust but praying for stability
