4th Depakote Update - Feeling Okay
June 9, 2026··
Feeling okay. Been having small bouts of dizziness.
It's not going perfect, but there will not be a much better time to do this. So I am taking the 300 mg pill right now. It is a 40% cut and will reinstate if anything goes worse than expected.
I expect no symptoms at all, or a few symptoms and mood swings here and there for a week.
Like I predicted yesterday, my mood always returns to very average due to its stabilization, so I must cut it sooner than later, and for the liver health as well (fatty liver).
