Thanks, Eric.
Our original plan to up Depakote in order to take Tramadol failed. I love Tramadol, but it makes me manic. And, 500mg of Depakote (all on its on without the Tramadol) made me manic. For some reason the traditional mood stabilizers bring on mania in me. I do better with the AAPs.
So my doc just pushed Geodon to 160mg and I'm doing really good. Geodon takes care of my depression & mania all in one med.
Incidentally, my pain doc agreed to give me an RX for hydrocodone when I need it (which isn't very often) so I won't have to deal with the mania induced by Tramadol.
