Weaning off Depakote
I am weaning off 500 mg of Depakote. My pdoc said I can take it every other day for 10 days and stop. Does this sound too quick?
Thanks for the additional info. I agree that it sounds a bit quick. I think you should tell your doc you would like to go a little slower, just for your comfort level.
It does sound a bit quick to me, but then I am the other way. I am in my 10th month of withdrawal from Effexor. So slow I have had no withdrawals.
If your doctor thinks the every other day method will work for you, then perhaps he is right. You do sound unsure though. Personally I would advise reducing the dosage slowly over several weeks at leasr=t. Up to you though.
Good luck, and let us know ho you get on.

How long have you been on the Depakote? Is this doc a specialist, or your PCP?
