What is the longest any of you have gone without medication? How long did your withdrawal symptoms last? I've now been over 2 weeks without Depakote, which I discontinued due to the effect it had on my concentration and motivation at work.

There are days when I feel normal, but it feels like it still hasn't worn off. Out of nowhere, I'll feel panicked looking at my to do list, and then I lose motivation and just want to sit at my cube all day. I also forget little things and have to ask questions a lot since I've only been at this job for 2 months. Not to mention the random anger attacks that hit me during the day.

I don't know how much longer I can go on like this. I either need to take some time off, which is not ideal for my reputation since I'm new. Or, I have to surrender and go back on a different medication, which I'm not ready to do yet either b/c I would always wonder if I could have made it if I had given it more time.

Thanks
