the maze runner Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 At first I was scared it will cause me to lose cognitively but it has't done that and my moods are a shade more stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofball Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Depakote has been a very good drug for me. I’ve been on it since 2016, and, while I still have the occasional breakthrough mania or mixed (and/or psychosis), that typically only happens about once a year. And it’s much, much tamer than it would be otherwise. You just have to make sure that you are reasonably close to your target level, or otherwise things can get away from you, like they did for me this spring. But pdoc increased my dose from 1500 to 2000, and after a lot of zyprexa, I am now in a complete remission, something that hasn’t happened since before I went on depakote. Some people have weight gain/hunger issues on it, but I haven’t experienced that, at least not to my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
