Since my last post to you, I've been experiencing a SERIOUS hypomanic episode. I spoke with my husband on the phone and realized I was rambling, and he kept telling me to calm down (which really annoys me to no end). Then I called my girlfriend and she also told me I sounded manic. I feel extremely anxious and keep having awful hot flashes (yes - I'm menopausal). Is all this from cutting the depakote in half (from 1000mg/day to 500mg/day) since last Saturday? My husband wants me to go back up on the dose. My pdoc would have a fit if I told him I did this while he was on vacation. I think I'm going to lie to him when I see him next and not even tell him I did what I promised I wouldn't do (mess with my meds). God - I want to get off depakote and lose these extra pounds but I'm afraid of being too anxious and getting depressed and out of control. Right now though I'm totally out of control! I guess I'm looking for a little advice here...should I go back up on the depakote dose and wait to see my pdoc and hope this will pass like it did for you?
