Don't know if I made title clear. So I am going up to 1000mg tonight. When should I get blood level checked to see if I am within therapeutic range?? A day, a few days, a week?? Also when I reach therapeutic level does it take long for symptoms to settle: hypomania?? Thanks ☺

Had to quit lithium due to kidney disease. so pdoc put me on Epilim (Depakote) last Friday, 400mg to start with. The thing is...I'm absolutely obsessed with food and cannot stop going around the kitchen looking for food and thinking about what I would like to eat. I don't really feel more hungry than normal, just want to keep eating. And this is only day 4 on it!! This is crazy! I'm afraid to weigh myself but I will do so tomorrow morning to see the bigger picture......ouch! Anybody else taking this medication want to eat all the time and think about food but not really hungry?? I really have to knock this on the head or I will gain the 20 lbs I have slowly managed to lose....And gain more along with it!!
