My Nurse Practitioner just called my mom earlier today and she wants me to take 1000 mg of the Depakote 2 in the morning two in the evening instead of 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening until my mania is under control then I am to stop the Depakote. And she is supposed to call in 20mg of Abilify am taking 15mg of Abilify right now hope this helps will post with updates in a few weeks or so
