Re: 209 Depakote level

My grandmother is currently on depakote, zyprexa & cogentin. Can anyone tell me how often she should have her depakote level checked?? It seems she is lucky if she has it checked once a year. She was diagnosed bipolar a number of years ago. Initial treatment was with lithium, to which she had a reaction after a number of years on this medication. I am concerned the same thing is happening with the Depakote. She is hardly able to walk, and shakes uncontrollably. I have talked w/ her Dr. but the Dr. doesn't seem concerned. Thanks for any insight.
