Question azalea

Ok Azalea, now I'm a little worried.

I have an interview, well actually a 2 day job onsite shadow/interview on Tues and Wed.

That gives me 5 days to get stable on the meds (10mg lexapro, 2000 mg depakote, 30mg dexedrine).

So i might need to start the lexapro tomorrow, so it'll be in full effect in 5 days (will make me normal and social, outgoing). If a mixed mood does occur, it would be after those 2 days.

Here's my question though. I need to be at the top of my game for the job.

Depakote gives me the terrible cognitive dulling/slowness, even at 1000mgs. Could I take the 2000mgs for 5 days, which would be a steady serum level, and then SKIP my Tuesday (I'll take mondays early), so hopefully I won't be affected on tue and wed? Perhaps even lower mondays to 1000mgs so I will be clear for Tuesday?

Unfortunately my PDOC is out of town, so it's going to be up to me how to decide this.

I appreciate the advice!

Brian
