vanderk Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) The therapeutic range (USA) is typically 50-100. But the range is really only pertinent to its use as an anticonvulsant. For mood stabilization many people do well sub-50. But if you're going cold-turkey off your meds, is this of any consequence? Forget the last bit of snark. I see you've resumed your meds. Congrats on a fit of better judgement! Edited October 30, 2013 by vanderk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stronghold Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I did not want to start a new thread so I'll just ask in this one. I am supposed to start sodium valproate (300mg depot/day), and was thinking if someone here has been on diazepam at same time? How did it work, I just reduced my diazepam to 5mg a day, from 10mg a day. Also im wondering, will this med turn me depressed... I don't know why, but always when starting new med/s, I get scared or at least cautious from interactions, side effects, will they over sedate etc. Experiences/answers are appreciated. Edit: The pill is now down. I decided that my will to get better is greater than my fear of starting this med. I will report back, when I know how this med affects me. Basically I just fear that I will lose control and do suicide, and I have no desire to die at all, I fear this. But maybe theres another thread to post about this problem, and I will go search for it, or make one myself. Edit2: Feeling fine, maybe even better, only noticeable side effect seems to be atm, that my stomach is little "upset". And what comes to this with Diazepam, I haven't noticed its effects getting stronger nor weaker.
