Thanks for your experience, Beyond! I've already had much clearer thinking and weight loss due to the decrease during tapering; glad to hear it happened with you as well.
Today is Day 3 of zero Depakote, and I've not gone manic. That in and of itself is a victory, so I'll take it.
Hopefully that will continue as it exits my system entirely. No side effects yet, so hopefully that will continue.
