The XL worked for me within 2 days but I seem to react quickly to meds. I honestly am not sure why it matters if I take the SR daily vs the XL every other day but we'll see what happens.

I remember that I gained 15lbs. on the Depakote (nothing like Seroquel!!). I also remember that it helped decrease the migraine headaches I was used to getting.
My pdoc always starts me at low doses because it seems since I've been in my 50's I react to side effects so strongly. I expect she'll raise it tomorrow when I see her. Then she said something about eventually going on the XL. I don't exactly understand how the SR/XL thing works, but pdocs seem to be choosy about it.
