Cam, I always find your answers interesting and enlightening. I want to know how the medicines work that I take. You have a way of explaining things that makes the meds easier to understand. The psych doc put me on the depakote and lamictal at the same time, kept the elavil and prozac in small doses. I asked her if I could quit the prozac but she wants me to stay on it. It's only 10mg, but I think it affects my hunger also. Thanks, again. Pat
