Weaning of depakote and starting topamax

Sun, 10/18/2015 - 14:12

I am now weaning of depakote and starting on topamax (am also on lamictal). I have no gone down from 1050 mg to 600 in the last 2 weeks and I am starting to get withdrawal symptoms. I think it is from the depakote. It is like when I stopped smoking years ago. Could this be it? Or is it because of me starting topamax thursday? Ahhh, what a nightmare! Fed up with all these medicines!
