Hey all, I was on 500mg Delayed release divalproex and my doc added 250mg divalproex er because I was stressed out, it had been two weeks till I felt like I needed to stop take it off because of foggy mind and lack of interest in things, too bad it I couldn't get appointment. So I went off the 250 mg divalproex. Its been 5 days off it and I have a clearer mind, but I have helmet feeling, blank mind, and no interest still. Anyone can tell me there experience with taking off or tapering down. should I go back on the 250mg divalproex er until I can she my pdoc? I was super miserable. Thanks

As long as you are doing okay on the reduced amount I would stay with that until I could see my doctor then discuss lowering it further. It's always best to have you doctor on the same page as you.
