I am not currently on meds, but if I had to absolutely go back, I would gladly go back to Depakote and know that I'd have no issues with it whatsoever. It is a phenomenal medication and I highly recommend it. Js.
Depakote is the best medication I have ever taken; Lithium was the worst. So yeah....Depakote is preferred, at least in my opinion!
depekote works better and you dont have to do the blood work and avoid caffine like you do with lithium. i was on it for a month and hated lithium made my mood 3xs worse and going with out pop and the caffine made me an angry person
