I recently had depakote added to my parnate,as well as upped the klonopin almost triple fold.
What i gather so far is yess less anxiety,but i feel strange,i dont think i like it very much.I am contributing it to the high amount of klonopin,or klono and depakote togther as the depakote *seems* pretty mild and somewhat soothing but i could be wrong.
Point is i have Nuerotion,and i plan to go over this with my docter,but just out of curiosity has anyone ever used these two meds....DEPAKOTE&NURONTIN in conjunction togther,and if not can anyone see a plauseable reason to not even think or suggest it.
Im hoping the two togther one less then the other will form a balance and provife more of a solid relieaf,also im thinking its possable the two of these togther could also lower if not totaly discontinue my use of klonopin?
If anyone has any insight on the above,or even in lamons terms how depakote and Nuerotion differ in action id be glad to hear,thanks.

Hi Willy
Neurontin doesn't seem to interact with Depakote. I can't see any reason why you couldn't combine them.

Thanks,i was reading and most of the similiar drugs have some degree of similarity to them.
Depakote however is weird,yess my anxiety seems to have been greatly surpressed,but so has everythng else,my mood,both good and bad,hell i prob couldent tell u in the past two days if i did feel better or not,i just kinda dont know.
Many meds had there day or two or week of working,i felt alive,eneregized,motivated,talkative,social,driven and dare i say happy!Now im thinking was i away from "normal" so long
that all those times i was high,and THIS is me,that would suck.It kinda feels like society looks down on you for wanting to feel good,im always scared im feeling to good and high,and always willing to accept more stable moods,but this,oh i hope not.BUT it is the holidays so ill just use this to my advantage and stay in a veggie like state so i can let my family around me get a break and enjoy the fun.
They deserve it.Right now depakote has me walking around the house in socks and shorts and i ALWAYS get dressed first thing am,fully dressed,now i feel like a long time mental paitent with his home acting like a hosptial,walking around in socks and robes and really not caring too much.
Who stole my soul,i thought that was one thing we always had protected ? Sorry for the bummer i do hope everyone is having some fun and enjoying the holidays.

To me depakote felt gaba-ergic. If I took a tiny bit of xanax now and then for sleep, it was magnified huge. Depakote also made lunesta a lot more powerful to where I only needed 1mg instead of 3mg.
I didn't like depakote. It in some ways eased my depression but at the same time created another depression all its own. Sometimes I feel good in the evening and depakote stole that away from me. I stopped it a week ago after a 10 week trial.
