Hi,
>I could not cut the depakote er 250 in half with a sledgehammer. lol. I mean that coating is thick.
Lol, Really? We don't have Depakote ER in the UK, we've got Epilim Chrono though which is similar.
>Tegretol, chemically related to Barbituate and similar in mechanism as Dilantin?
Tegretol has more in common with Trileptal than any other drug. Tegretol is not chemically related to the barbiturates, Dilantin on the other hand is structurally similar to phenobarbital. What was your experience with Dilantin? What dose did you take?
>Do you have anymore information regarding chemical relations or mechanisms between valium and librium?
I'm not really sure what you're looking for!
Chemical relations........

Diazepam and chlordiazepoxide are both metabolised to desmethyldiazepam, an active metabolite.
