Hi,

Depakote helps me too with not much in the say of side effects but I'm taking only 500mg. I've lowered it the last couple of days to 250 because I've got an itchy rash.

I'm switching from Effexor to imipramine as of tonight. The Effexor makes me too anxious (and it actually used to *help* with anxiety. I'm hoping that with the imipramine, I won't have to take the Depakote or my Klonopin anymore. Right now I'm only taking .5 mg in the morning. I could really use another .5 in the afternoon but I've gone this far so I guess I can live with a litle anxiety in the hopes of reducing withdrawal symptoms later.

I's weird. By evening, my anxiety is generally gone. Evening though the klonopin has worn off by then. Also, I'm glad the Lex helps you. It made me more anxious. I really had to increase the Klonopin dose when I tried to take Lexapro!
