I feel like every time I feel like i'm making some little bit of progress but need a little adjustment I end up on a magic carpet ride trying to just feel like myself again!!! I've been depressed since spring and want to just level off. All I have to say is GRRRRRRR......  |
Hello there, I am not on depakote, I am on lithium and I found that any adjustments didn't effect me so badly once I was used to it initially. Has your doctor ever discussed lithium with you? The only thing with lithium is that I have to get regular levels checked as It can be sensitive to diet changes or illness. I do occasionally get a few manic symptoms but it is controlled and doesn't happen very often. If you are happy with your current meds and are just going through a bad patch, u need to contact your doctor to discuss it. Good luck, I hope you feel better soon.
