In reply to depakote before Lexapro, posted by joebob on July 9, 2003, at 23:40:15
I have been taking Depakote (500 mg) for over three years now and I have had no problems with this drug. I will have to go off it if I decide I want to become pregnant otherwise it has been treating me fine. NOW...today I was told to go completely off Prozac and was put on 10 mg. of Lexapro. I will start tomorrow. So far everything I have read sounds a bit positive but I am worried about the side effects. Like, exactly what are some of the side effects you are having?
