Learn how the brain works, and how to recognize the symptoms of depression.
Dosages of Depakote
Your psychiatrist will start with a very low dosage and then slowly increase it until the right dosage is found, i.e. the least amount that will be effective. For some people it is as low as 500 or 750mg. For many it is 1000 or 1500mg.
Note that this is not a medication you should self-prescribe. It can be very dangerous in some circumstances. Most people do not have serious side effects but some people do, including life-threatening seizures and permanent liver damage. A doctor can minimize the danger. Experimenting with dosage on your own would be extremely hazardous. Even under medical supervision you do not start or stop Depakote suddenly.
