In reply to Depakote Withdrawal - what should I feel?, posted by becksA on April 24, 2006, at 12:03:12
> I've been taking 1250mg daily of depakote for cyclothemic behavior....anyway, it was doing nothing for me, if not worsening things. SO i'm tapering off it. what are common side effects, good or bad, that i can watch for, to know that its coming from coming off the depakote?
>
> I can already say I feel like I'm in a slightly better mood, and my voice slurring (that i thought was caused by the klonopin) seems to have diminished significantly. However it has only been a couple days so i dont want to jump the gun.I never experienced any withdrawal effects from discontinuing Depakote. I've used rapid tapers just as a precaution against precipitating a seizure. Some people have reported anxiety as a withdrawal symptom.
I'm glad you are feeling better.
