[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 61036, member: 1991"] I don't know enough about the metabolic pathways for Depakote. One thing, however - with some medications at least, there can be a delay between adjusting the dose, and getting the blood levels you want. You can end up in a see-saw oscillating arrangement. It would be interesting to know what other factors there are, in Depakote metabolism. How does the body use it/take it up? Is it stored anywhere in the body, or does excess get excreted? if excreted, by what means? What dies it interact with? Can it be bound up with anything it could be interacting with? If psychiatrist is stumped, what about talking to another doctor in a different specialty? A GP is by definition a generalist, they are often better trained to see the bigger picture. Also, talking to the pharmacist who is providing the medication can help to find some clues. These people should have the training as well as access to the information, to help determine the answers.
