Regarding Depakote--I had a terrible reaction to the drug--really doped me up,made me nauseous,I had to stop taking it after a couple doses.
I am on a mood stabilizer called Lamictal--an anticonvulsant recently approved for bipolar disorder(takes the place of Lithium,Depakote,etc),I've been on it for 4 years,no side effects, and works really well controlling the mood swings. I was wondering as well if maybe that was helping me through the severity of withdrawal. This may also be the reasoning of my Dr. feeling I can do without the daily Klonopin eventually. I'm on 200mg of Lamictal a day.
So you can't include me in your Depakote head count,sorry.
Take care,
Hlar
