Doc was very upset about Depakote causing cystitis, but even my pharmacist said it was listed as a side effect.
I asked if I could add Zyprexa or another AAP and she flatly said no. She said I had to be on an anticonvulsant as they are the only true mood stabilizers.
As a "last resort" she gave me Keppra. She told me to take 500mg twice a day, but I think I might dose up to avoid any issues. I think I might start with 250mg twice a day then move up from there. She doesn't really Rx Keppra and didn't really know how much to throw at me.
Not sure if 1,000mg right away would knock me out or what. I'm not sure what to expect from this med.
I hope it works, because she's really not happy with me and my bad bladder.
