I do recall that discussion. It is certainly possible that in your case you did have the highly unusual reading problems, in which case you did the right thing - to stop the medication.
I stopped posting on remedyfind.com because there are people there who blame everything on drugs. The post that made me stop using the site was written by someone who had taken one 250mg Depakote ER pill. The post read something like the following:
"I TOOK THE FIRST PILL AND WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING AND WHILE I WAS WALKING TO MY CAR I HEARD A VOICE IN MY HEAD SAY 'DEPAKOTE IS BAD FOR YOU' AND I NEVER TOOK ANOTHER PILL."
Even if he did experience this psychosis, he was probably prescribed the drug to combat the very condition of psychosis which is commonly caused by mania. Or perhaps he took the wrong drug or something. We'll never know, which is why I'll stick to the published literature from now on.
