Divalproex sodium
"Manic bi-polarism for 7  years.  Know I'm a type "A" person,  Depokote, Effexer, zanix.  I come from the medical field, lab and had seen people come in for blood work on everything from lithium to thorazine.  I have (with M.D. agreement) backed down from 500mg ER Depokote, to 250mg ER every evening along with a sleeping pill. The sleeping pill is new, so next time I will give the name.  When "they" found me, I was so gone into what we call our "BLACK HOLE". I truly have no idea what all they tried....BUT the Depakote, according to my wife (Nurse for 34 yrs)
was my marriage and life saver."
