> Perhaps I am not taking enough Depakote, but last night with dinner I still felt a little speedy (plus I had a headache) from the Vyvanse so I took 250mg of Depakote. It didn't seem to calm me down. Klonopin would have - I don't know why Depakote wouldn't.

> I like the Vyvanse for energy and motivation,I just need to calm down in the evening. Sometimes it feels like it doesn't wear off. Maybe 500mg of Depakote? What dose of Depakote would bring me down?My guess is that you'd have to take the Depakote consistently for a while at the right dosage to see benefits. The right dosage is what gives you positive effects without too many side effects. Sorry, your pdoc would have to advise.
But, I totally feel for your situation and will either be starting depakote or seroquel to make sure I don't get too happy from the Effexor I'm taking. that and I will probably discontinue Remeron if I can get away with it. I feel great, but I have to take about 3 x .5mg lorazepam for anxiety/mixed/racing mind and zopiclone to sleep. Not so bad, but I'd like a simpler and more consistant approach.
Keep at it and let us know how it goes.
