I've had to come off the Prozac as mentioned in other recent posts of mine and the withdrawals are awful! I forgot how bad anti d withdrawals can be. I dropped it to 10mg last week but now nothing as it was just making my mania and mixed episodes worse.

Started back on Depakote (I'll use that name as it's known more here, but Sodium Valproate) yesterday at 600mg a day which has been fine so far. The nightmares I'm having are beyond my normal vivid ones and leaving me feeling like a complete mess. The brain zaps and thoughts of giving up entirely have crept in, I really hope this doesn't last

Brain is somewhat slower today, but I just think the withdrawals are taking over everything else.

And this is just the beginning of a whole new med regime. My pdoc is hoping we can just get me stable on the Depakote, and no anti d's as they send me mixed or off the charts. Possibility of an antipsychotic depending how I go.

Hating this struggle.
