Did you have problems with depakote (valproate)? What dose were you taking? I have a great pdoc (and have developed insight with my manias and have lots of support) so I only take depakote to stop an episode- so maybe 1 week out of 4 months. 99.9% of pdocs would not go along with this, but I couldn't take the depression that was my side effect of depakote, so it was either this method or none. I'm glad you'retapering off of zyprexa, another drug that caused EPS for me- and one I only take if I have psychotic symptoms. best of luck-judy
