Good news
Many meds need to be titrated very gradually, especially Lithium, it is bad to just hit someone with a high dose all at once and to my knowledge hardly ever done.
I didn't like Depakote either, that is another one that has to be increased gradually.
I am happy to hear the new pdoc is taking this seriously, I hope this all means you are going to be on the right track now.
Please take care, and thanks for the "thank you" which was much appreciated.

Sincerely,

DE
