Welcome, mindfreak!!
![]() You'll learn a lot about bipolar disorder here. Better than that, you'll learn from the experts---those of us who live with BP. Sometimes it gets pretty intense around here when someone is going through a bad patch, but that's when we really 'jell' as a group and try to help that member get past it. Hope to learn more about who you are and how you came to be diagnosed with BP. In the meantime, look around and enjoy the forums. ![]()

Welcome. I'm on depakote as well. What dose are you on? I'm on 1000 mg (very high blood level though...right at the top end of the range). It's working like a charm for me. Totally stabilizes my mood and calms my anxiety. The only side effect I have is that I sleep longer than before. Depakote has completely turned my life around and made me functional again. I feel like my old self.
