In reply to depakote as augment for lexapro.....doses?, posted by joebob on July 31, 2003, at 12:44:45
Hi, I'm assuming also that you may need less Depakote. When you take your Lexapro? My doctor decided to start me on it today and I take my first dose ASAP. I'm not sure when to take it-I was planning tonight. How did you feel on it the first day or 2? I was told it worked fast and had a very low profile of side effects, what do you think? I, like you, am also on a mood stabilizer-Lamictal-I'm BPII with very little, if any, mania. Good luck.
