Yesterday and today I've had massive brain fog. Last night I was hallucinating but just a little and I knew it wasn't real. Didn't sleep. I'm getting that weird feeling in my head again where my scalp feels like it's someone else's. I'm doing the "look at a speckled pattern and vomit because it's too trippy" thing today too.
I swear this isn't right. I mean, obviously it isn't, but this "psychosis" I've been having on and off since I started Depakote is vastly different than before I was on it. Subtract paranoia and any mood episode aspects and add vomiting, feeling 100% brain dead, having zero appetite, and weird physical sensations. __________________ [Insert thought-provoking and comedic quote here] |

Sounds like a nightmare to deal with @MuddyBoots. I hope you can get some relief soon.

That's odd. Have you told your psychiatrist? Maybe you need a dosage adjustment or something.

Oh, I forgot I was put on Ritalin at the same time as the depakote. But I've had periods of taking it every day and being fine and periods where I have skipped it and still had stuff like this happen, so that's kinda why it didn't come first to mind.
I just saw my pdoc Monday but before yesterday it hadn't really been bad enough to almost kill me for a couple weeks (yeah, I blanked while driving through an intersection, but luckily it was red for no reason). My valproic acid levels are right in the middle last they were checked so going up would probably just make the brain fog worse and going down has a good chance at adding mood instability. Ughh I hate that Depakote is literally my only option. __________________ [Insert thought-provoking and comedic quote here] |

@MuddyBoots
Yeah. It does suck depakote is your only option. They put me on that once when I was in the hospital and I literally slept for eight hours a day for two weeks. I forget. Why can't you take Lamictal? __________________ The darkest of nights is followed by the brightest of days. 😊 - anonymous The night belongs to you. 🌙- sleep token "I'm scared. I'm old.
