my new shrink took me off of all meds I had been taking for some time (thoridazine, Benzetropine, xanax) 6 months, took me off cold turkey. put me on depakote 1500mgs each night, three days later was informed by an ER doctor that it was "lathargy by the use of depakote" what do I do? Im so scared
Call your shrink and tell him what you,ve experienced!! He ordered it so he is responsible. Unfortunately, you have to try other drugs to see what helps and what doesn,t! I think he was right to discontinue those old hideous drugs and he knew you would have some nasty withdrawal symptoms. Tell him what has happened. He should lower dose considerably or discontinue. I know alot of people that do well on depakoate,after the initial change from discontinuing old meds!! Notify doc today. You,re over the worst part,the withdrawal from the other meds!! Good luck.
