Re: New Depakote rx advice needed

The ER version of depakote is extended release and will slowly release continuously throughout its journey through your digestive tract. So the half-life factor doesn't come into play. Blood levels stay consistent.

The ideal blood level is between 50 and 100 (can't remember what the units were). At 500mg ER my blood levels were 29. We all metabolize differently, but it sounds like 3 pills will put you in the upper end of the correct range.
