2nd Depakote Update - Feeling Okay
June 7, 2026··
Feeling okay. Been having bouts of sedation. Slept something like 13 hours once again.
A few more days and we're cutting this one. Hopefully I won't be sleeping 13 hours anymore with less of such a strong sedative.

Hey great to hear youre working on the cut. I assume the same will happen once you cut down a little bit on it as well. Keep us updated
