They didnt tell me the specifics WHY but hey, I was told by two separate people so... I comply. I just wanted to know if you were ever given any kind of, "Juggling Lamictal and Depakote isnt a good idea" or any kind of talk. Just wondering if that could be an issue of being on both at the same time.

Depakote raises the level of Lamictal in the blood so titration up has to be done slowly. I imagine they want to make sure all the lamictal is out of the blood before putting you on Depakote.
