Well, for the past 2 weeks when I was on 750 mg Depakote and was a little down I thought it could just be depression because my grandpa died and I was in a car accident. But when I went up to 1000 mg and was crying all day on a beautiful sunny happy day at a wedding reception surrounded by friends and all was right with the world during the time of year when I normally don't feel like that and was also have many physical side effects, I attributed it to the Depakote. And the next day when I had backed down to 750 mg I was just fine and haven't had a problem since. So I really do think it's the med.

I think you are right about having to balance small doses of AD to keep from triggering hypomania. I talked to my counselor last night and she is going to contact my pdoc about this. I should hear something today.

I'm getting really sick of this whole mess wtih meds. I wish we could just find the right doses and I could feel fine and the only way I would know that I have a problem is that I would have to remember to take these pills each day. Every other time I would just be smooth sailing. That's my goal. Maybe it's unrealistic but that's what I'm shoooting for.
