Hi everyone.

Pdoc appointment today - she didn't like the side effects I've already been experiencing on just 250 of depakote. She still upped my scrip to 500 but only for 10 days to see if more positive effects start to manifest.

Anyway. She was speaking really quickly and I was zoning out somewhat, she mentioned the name of the next med she would want to try if the 500mg of depakote doesn't go well but I didn't quite catch it.

It started with an s or at least an s sound - does anyone know what it could be?

Yeah, my guess would be Seroquel, too.
If not, here's this if it helps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._medications#S

If it seroquel then make sure you start out small at first. I've been on and off of it for 12 years now! I go off because it stops helping me sleep. Then I go back a few months later once my tolerance goes back down, and I've slept over 14 hrs on it!
