Thanks Ed,
Yep the depakote er tablet is hard to describe. It is heavy and almost solid. It's as if the oval shaped tablet has bee solidified like a stone. Yes, i took Dilantin for about 4 weeks. I was on the Dreyfus method trial. Anyway, it does have some calming properties but it effects EVERYTHING. Serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, cortisol, and many others. I read the book A Remarkable Medicine Has Been Overlooked By Dreyfus. I would take it if there was nothing else but it just is not a reliable mood stabilizer. It washes remeron out of your system in half the time, it pushes a benzo out while it increases itself. It can be usefull but the feeling is just not consistent, I wish it was. An ssri also makes it move. I get the picture regarding valium. I guess I will just stay with lib. I really wish Dilantin was as remarkable for me as it was for Dreyfus. The best way to sum it up is that it effects everything a little but if you need a drug for a certain condition it will interact unreliably with Phenytoin.JN
