How are you feeling today, pacman?

The med thing can be hard, but I don't know that it's worth trying to deal with it only through therapy if BP is in the mix. (I can certainly understand that having a paradoxical reaction to seroquel doesn't help. I mean, if it were only a matter of ADs being problematic, that would be simpler.) It may be that your reaction will abate (many do) as your system adjusts. Maybe give a call to your Pdoc and see if changing the dosage of the depakote is an option. (I've not taken depakote, so can't comment specifically on it on lowering or raising being the less likely to cause the experience you are having.) I haven't read your other post you refer to, so I don't know -- Have you tried Lamictal? Just a thought if the depakote ultimately doesn't work out.

And no worries, vent as needed. That's why we're here. Don't worry about who might have it worse (and really, who is to say? Healthier not to compare.), we're all here to give and get support.
