What's the dose?
Depakote hasn't done anything to my tummy. Do you take it with food? I don't have nausea but the headaches are killer! Codeine, acetaminophen, codeine, acetaminophen.......
I can relate to the sleepiness though. I'm a walking zombie most days.

good to sleep after the exhausting summer. Stay in that bed, the circling slugs will shrivel and die. You're sister to the bears in their dens.
I love my heater, it's under the floor, a gas fire, pops and crackles and glows red. Sooo comforting. Crank it up.

Dreamer:Sounds like you are in the arms of a deep depression. I mentioned this before to others...what about adding an a.d. and maybe even ANOTHER mood stabalizer. Depakote by itself make me a catatonic zombie. With Effexor AND Topomax...it worked very, very well. See..Effexor by itself turned me into a raging wacko..and Topomax by itself turned me into a dunce. The combo was JUST sweet..the 'balance' between energy and calm. You REALLY may want to consider this.
Any questions..please ask!
Best wishes, you sweet little trout you..;-) (You do recall that, don't you?..:-)

Hello sweetie pie...Thanks for info..today I saw new pdoc and he has a brain thats works -not like my other one..he was quite suprised that I'd had no blood tests , he's gonna get me see a proper shrink cause rapid moods are so hard to treat says he.
Anyway I'm on effexor/depakote/neurontin...but this may change in 6 weeks , although the effexor is for life : )
Canada , of what I've seen is beautiful ..
I don't feel such a trout today but I can hardly keep my eyes open so I guess more sleep is a coming.
See you later honeypop.

I wake up and ten minutes later I want to sleep again..even bashing the keyboard is an effort..thing is I can't remember when this started.
My place is a mess.

Well hello Dahhhhling..:-)You know what I think *may* be the culprit with your fatigue is the Neurontin. How about Topomax with the Depakote and Effexor? I found that to be an *awesome* combo.
Canada is nice..'specially this time of year...autumn colours and woods for hundreds..thousands of miles...thousands of fresh water lakes...trees..woods..all untouched. You should visit. It might be good for the soul..;-)
I hope you are feeling better...and bid you the biggest amount of sweetness possible. You *shall* overcome dear..:-)

Read my above post....and when can you get to a pdoc..or any doc? Again..I would say ditch the Neurontin for something better...like Topomax or any other MS. Best wishes sweety..my dear trout..;-)Jay

Yeh..I'm only on 600mg...doc said he doesn't want to ditch it just yet as I am a new patient--was wondering if any moood stabilisers icrease effect of effexor--because that i find is very sedative-I'm scared of topamax because most feel dumb on it.???Oh ..i don't know guess i'm in hibernation.
Got to wait 6 weeks till i see doc.
