Wow I am surprised no side effects for you 2 and mine were so drastic! That is great though I guess we are all just different I haven't noticed the divalproex kicking in yet I'm on week 2 I had a long pmdd episode recently so it's very hard to tell if it's working yet since I believe it would be unrelated to BP and the divalproex wouldn't help the pmdd (just my guess!) I was thinking about asking the psych for a pmdd medication although I'm not sure if that is who you even ask! ugh my mother babied me for so long that I haven't learned the life skills I really need to live on my own I'm finding it very tough especially since she's been dating someone she very rarely speaks with me anymore.
