First day on Depakote -- relatively low dose, 250 mgs for the first few days at bedtime, before upping it to 250 mgs 2x/day.
First impression -- I feel a little sleepy, and a little like I don't want to eat. (I'll be watching the symptoms to make sure they don't become dangerous.)
However, I've been nauseated, dizzy, and very visually reactive all week. Even the pattern in an aphgan at home has set off a migraine this week! The reactivity seems to be _gone_. The nausea and dizziness are gone. I'd have to say for now that I'm pleasantly surprised, and hoping that the mild sleepiness today vanishes soon.
