Lets see,dosages, depakote 1000mg 1x a day, 360 mg verapamil 1x day. (maximum in 480, I think)

No other side effects. Apparently, verapamil can cause dizziness, lightheadedness when standing...but not for me. My blood pressure is now even lower than it was before. Doc says I should live forever. As far as mental slowing the opposit is the case. I would say that is the number one first improvement I noticed and bless every day.

I would vote for anyone to try it,as I understand it to be a fairly benign drug (yes, yes, I know there are reports of depression associated with it, what drug doesnt??) and for some of us hard to treat it may just be a part of the puzzle.

I have started to read the Mania book and am finding it pretty good, written for the layish person, I think. Thanks for the encouragement to begin.I will keep you posted.
