Well Wendy,
As I mentioned above, the effects may be starting to wear off. I'll have to wait and see, or maybe increase the Depakote again. I think if they do continue, I'll definitely have to find a new way to relate to the world, or the emptiness will be overwhelming. Dissociation is my usual way of dealing with overwhelming feelings, and I have to stop doing that if the feelings are no longer there.
For what it's worth and of course YMMV, depakote was much better for me than Neurontin. Neurontin made me feel much fuzzier, while I feel more clear headed on Depakote. Depakote also seems to be better for my sleep cycle. I wake up feeling rested. I'm only on 125 mg, though, which is a very low dose.
