You didn't mention what your blood level is- that piece of info is more important than actual doseage. If you are bp2 you can get by on less than bp1s. To show you the huge variation in people with bipolar disorder- I only use depakote when manic it makes me depressed within 2-3 days of oral loading (I am bp1 and I'm talking about in hospital high doses) I really think you are one of the few who is helped by depakote for depressions although most bp specialists would cringe before they prescribe prozac unless you are not rapid cycling and bp2 (and maybe that's why your depakote is so high). Klonopin is a good benzo for anxiety and a secondary mood stabilizer- you may want to ask your pdoc about that. Also I'm pregnant and would be happy to answer any questions you have- judy
