> Hi, I take vermapamil, a calcium channel blocker in addition to depakote and it has helped a lot. My blood pressure was not high, now is lower, as is my level of anxiety and overall am feeling more even and comfortable than I have in a long time. I understand it isn't a combination that works for everyone, however, it does work, and has few side effects.

Hi Susan! Yes, that is right-you were taking verapamil. So, does the verapamil seem to cause any *dulling*? That is what I am desperately trying to avoid. I know that some pdocs are using it off-label for hostility, hypomania, and anxiety, as well as treating drug-induced diarrhea, etc. I guess I am asking-if you are experiencing reduced anxiety are you getting any cognitive dysfunction as a result of the reduced anxiety?
