Excellent point. My mania returned full-force after a 50% reduction in my Depakote dose. However, I do know that depression is a whole lot different from mania, and often takes much longer to return after the discontinuation of medication. It's also much harder to treat than depression (for me, anyway). That is definitely something that should be considered.
