hello blueoctober

The s/s you mention are similar to mine except the headachey feeling. I am bipolar, ADHD with a bit of PTSD thrown in there. I am a nurse too. I denied the bipolar diagnosis for several years until I finally was reading about how a traumatic event can provoke it and I realized what I was reading described me.

Depakote did not help me but it works well for some. I had to try several combinations of meds before I found what worked for me.

Good luck!
