Hello, I have been on Depakote for about I don't know, 3-4 months I wanna say, and it has improved just my MOOD in general a ton. At first my psychiatrist put me on it because he thought he seen some 'bi-polar tendencies' he called it, so I assumed he meant that I didn't have full blown Bi-Polar disorder. Because I told him the history of my father's rage and anger, and then he would return to content and happy to have me at his house kind of thing.. so he said that he also seen that I do have a LITTLE bit of anger issues, like snapping, and not watching what I say kind of thing. Not biting my tounge.

But, since I have started taking it.. I have had many days of blahhh also, and just... irritablity and weakness... and.. I don't like it. And I told my T that I don't like it, and she said many of her clients don't like it because they miss the high. And I told her that, yeah.. I could see that.. I could understand that.. but, for me it's.. bad.. I just don't.. wanna do nothing but be sad all day no matter what.

My psych is having a problem finding meds for me he said, because of the pills I currently take for pain, which are Darvocet N-650 MGs and, Naproxen 500 MG. And those could interfere with them.. and I could start seeing things.

But I don't know what to do next! I DON'T want to be on Depakote, because it makes me.. too.. lowww and just... 'flat-lined' my T called it. But I told my mom I wanted to switch and she said no, I don't need to try any more meds.. but.. It wont exactly be her decision when I turn 18, in about 4 months, on April 22nd... so.. yeah.
