My sister is currently taking 1 depakote (250mg) in the morning and 3 depakote at night along with 1 risperdal(sp?) .25mg on a regular basis, but her doctor also left her the option of taking zyprexia & klonopin as needed. Is Klonopin a sleeping pill? is zyprexia a med to prevent abnormal thoughts or to prevents seeing things and hearing things that aren't there?
What are the purposes of these meds. Are these amounts of medications alot or are they normal for someone who is bipolar? My sister is worried these meds will cause damage to her organs, like liver, etc., Thank you very much and any comments are greatly appreciated. Mike
