Also I have to OD on the drug and take some blood tests to see how the levels are in the system. Will this cause strange behaviours during this period?

Man, depakote was such a better drug for me. Lithium made me feel like hell all the time, just a total flat line. I took at for 2 years before I knew it. Much less side effects on depakote. You have to have levels drawn for it, just like lithium. Question? Do you have to take that risperidol? (I think that is what you said) That was a death sentence for me. Good luck.
