I would talk to your p-doc. When I called my p-doc- he supported that it was my decision and I was on 500 mg at the time. I completely quit it cold turkey- was fine for 2 weeks, the next 2 weeks- had enough racing thoughts to get back on it.

I stopped taking it for four weeks earlier this year and that was a mistake. One thing that has helped me with Depakote is that I take two dosages of 125 mg 2x per day. You may want to consider splitting the dosage prior to quitting unless the side effects are that bad.

Good luck!
