Hi Schuyler:
My tiny little bit of information/opinion I got from my source today goes along with what your girlfriend is checking into. This person suggested that a low dose anti-psychotic would be safer and have fewer cognitive side effects than the depakote. Otherwise, concerning discernable side effects, I think you will have to find out what they are (somehow I get the feeling you already have) and make it clear to the staff that you would like for (insist that) they watch closely for these things. They're probably familiar with the medications that this physician prescribes and you sound as if you trust them to do their best, but it doesn't hurt to cover your bases. (somehow I have another feeling y'all have done this already, too) I'm glad you didn't mind me playing with your post. More glad it helped.
