Hey david, yeah I thought you said clonazepam, my bad. Did you specify that you just nibble on a little sometimes and go without it for a whole week? If not, that might be very valuable information for someone seeking help to know. Then at least they know that klonopin is not really what is helping to hold you together, and it may be something you want to do without completely at some point.

I do think L-Carnitine can help prevent liver issues. L-Carnitine plays a pretty major role in liver function and is depleted by Depakote. Folate is also depleted by Depakote. I believe we can eat right, supplement right, avoid toxins, and find a fairly low but still effective dose of Depakote and thrive for the rest of our lives-that is most of us at least. There are some that for whatever reason may be very sensitive to liver issues with Depakote. I just think mood stabilizers for the most part have less potential to do harm than antipsychotics.

Lamictal is a very powerful drug, more so than lithium and depakote I believe. It works great for many, and many do not notice much of anything as far as side effects go, but that sh*t is strong, I know it is. I just believe, after doing a little research, that it can have more potential to mess with one's mind over the long run, or the short run, than the other mood stabilizers. It appears that anectodal reports seem to show this-if you check out reviews on drug review websites I think you will find this to be the case.
