Had 2 serious suicide attempts in 2 weeks ( was hospitalized for both). Second hospitalization they started me on extended release depakote because it's the "gold standard" for bipolar treatment. I'm not sure this was the right choice because I am already on vraylar and was not manic. I don't think depakote will help for the depressive parts of bipolar. I am supposed to take 1,000mg of extended release at night. So far, I've had nausea, GI upset ( I literally shit my pants today in the car ugh). I don't think I should stay on it. I don't see my psych until next week. Anyone ever just stop it cold turkey?
