This sucks. It's been a week since the re-intro of Depakote. I'm adjusting my lamictal dose downward as depakote messes with Lamicatal blood levels. The agitation is setting in, and I'm just tired in general.

Depakote to me is a "depressant", not a mood-stabilizer. Yeah, it will take you out of mania/hypomania, but it will knock you down so low that you can't be happy. So if you're lucky enough you can stay level, which means more or less flat. Other than that the only way you can go is down.

I'll give it another 2 weeks, but if it gets worse I'm going off it and then going back up on the lamictal dosage.

Pdoc can go to jolly Pirate Donuts for all I care.
