> I think the use of anticonvulsants to mitigate benzodiazepine withdrawal syndromes should be explored further. I am curious about Depakote. Has anyone been on Depakote while trying to withdraw from a benzo or SRI?

I don't know if the Depakote helped any or not, but it wasn't too bad. The next project is to get my clonazepam down from .5 to .25mg or OFF. I thought being off the Celexa would trigger panic, but it hasn't. I just got some Keppra again from my pdoc, and I think *that* one will be the ticket to get off or halve the clonazepam I'm on. I need to cut it down, because the clon is CLEARLY depressogenic (esp. w/o an AD). --- Mitch
