cottoncandylocks, I've been dx'd with severe bipolar I myself, and I'm on Depakote, at 750mg. Been on it only a short time, almost 4 weeks. I started at 500mg like you, for the first 2 weeks. It's starting to help somewhat now, but I still have intermittent insomnia. I'm a rapid cycler with mixed states, and pdoc said Depakote was supposed to be a good treatment for mixed states. It has helped those a lot, though it could be better. I go back Tuesday to get my blood levels drawn again ...
