Weening off Depakote

Posted by Angielala on December 29, 2003, at 14:22:55

I'm weening off Depakote and am not feeling well at all. Any suggestions as to what I can do to make this a little smoother?

Also- does anyone know of a natural lithium? (Not the prescribed kind)

I'm coming off of an antidepressant, Lexapro, and starting on a new antipsychotic, Abilify. Soon, I will start coming off of an anti-psychotic, Geodon. I don't feel so well either. It's going to take about a month to stabilize me on the new med, and withdraw me from the old, and I'm not looking forward to it at all.

I don't feel like I can trust myself much until the process is over--but life doesn't just stop while a patient changes meds. I just hope I don't seriously mess anything up.

Sorry to make things complicated, but I'd like follow-ups to be redirected to (just plain) PB if they're about medication and to PB Alternative if they're about natural lithium. Thanks,

Bob
