i really like my Depakote. but i feel sleepy today. its 4 days that i raised it. but i slept too much this night, maybe its the reason of my sleepy brain wow… for those who are on regulators here - do they make you sleepy? did you got used to this? i am also quite derealisated, its not nice thing…
Higher doses of Depakote will take some time to get used to.
Depakote is a sedating drug - the higher the dose, the sleepier you will be, until you get used to the extra sedation.
Antidepressants I might as well take LSD, at least it’d be more fun
Mood stabilizers are like sugar pills to me, they do nothing
Antipsychotics do everything for me from mood to psychosis
I’m glad if it works for you though!
Abilify has a very mood stabilizing affect, it’s wonderful.
ok wave, so i can hope that i can get used to the Depakote, 4 days its nothing isn’t it?
turningthepage, for me its the opposite. the Zyprexa doesn’t act on my anger and i am still quite fearfull and depressed. i feel something on Depakote which i cant feel with the Zyprexa. abilify is not for me, i tried it twice-it made me too anxious and agitated…
Yes @Anna1 4 days is nothing - I would give It more time.
Good luck
