I haven't had many problems with Depakote, alhtough I am getting off of it now. Struggling with whether I need it at all. I did take Klonipin for a number of years and would definitely NOT recommend for mood stability. It's just a big downer.

> Thanks Sara. I am mainly quetioning the efficacy (sp) of Depakote. If I am this mentally "clogged", in addition to feeling sad, word -loss...etc. (I rarely have depressive symptoms but feel them every morning...disapates as the day goes on).
> I can hardly see the long term or short term benefits on 500 or 1000mg of depakote..I am a walking zombie. I was diagnosed 10 plus yrs ago, but my mania's have never been sever...only on the "hypo" side....with low grade depression if little at all. I am asking my pdoc about Neurontin due to low/no side effects and the anti-depressant agent. I know SSRI's work excellent for me, but too risky to spin into a hypo. Ever heard of a patient just using Klonopin to maintain "mood stability"...? What about Neurontin..have you tried this one?
