Hi Katia,

> I started Depakote five days ago and I cannot sleep - WIRED! - am straight up hyper! racy!

I'm surprised by your reaction to Depakote. If you haven’t already, immediately call your pdoc and let him/her know what's going on. This stuff is supposed to stop hypomania not cause it.

> I also want to drink more cuz it's so da** good! I feel out'a control!

As a bipolar II, I can't drink ANY alcohol. One drink can destabilize my mood states for several days. I really miss having a few beers now and again, but I've learned from experience. If I drink even one beer, I experience some depression for several days thereafter.

Katia, please tell your pdoc that you are drinking alcohol while taking psychotropic medications. There are risks.

I care about what happens to you. Be smart.

-- Ron
