i wonder, if any of you all that have taken depakine 500mg to 1000mg have had the side effect of skin ichiness, but when you take the mood stabilizer seroquel, you dont have this side effect....????As far as weight gain, when someone is new to a drug, i found at the begining of depakine and also seroquel there was some weight gain,,,but you have to mentally control your eating and choice of foods...of course when i was on some heavier drugs at the hospital, risperderol and zyprexia, you are an eating machine...all high calorie, and just starving...being busy and eating lots of fruits and vegetables and lots and lots of water...I just think of the poor liver with all these chemicals we have to take for our brain transmitters, we need to flush the liver and kidneys everyday with water, water... Another question i have...i read that you have forgetfulness, which drugs? and is this only for a short time while you are on the drug or what and how does this work medically???? These meds, and which ones, do they have the properties of retrograde amnesia,,...I thought i read this somewhere on a drug insert,...and yes i just dont get it about the brain transmitters and how the lack of them work, even if i read it again and again...why dont i get it...I have another question, Thru the years we were able to do all those things and we were so on it....what happened to our brain that we get nervous and anxious and cant function like we use to be able to....Did we overuse the flight or fight syndrome, the yin more so we asked for more serotonin or more dopamine and now there is no more....?????Why are we mentally more able to focus on meds????And why doesnt the herbal drugs work as efficiently as regular meds????Is it because there are not regulated and we dont know what dose we are getting? One time, (I suspect my brother and his wife are bp, and they refuse to believe it,)I gave them 5htp and watched them, because i took it before because i read it helped the nerves, and they were like two lambs sitting next to each other and not bouncing off each other. It was so hilarious. You know they didnt even see the difference but I did. One time, I was on the phone with a pdoc about getting my daughter tested for ADHD and the pdoc got mad on the phone and told me to stop talking so he could answer at least one of my questions...???Isnt it a scream, funny that we know so much about the bp syndrome or whatever and symptoms that we can diagnose our friends, family and strangers.....ahhahah but do we dare tell them, no way, not...it just upsets them and makes us nuts..hahah so who cares as long as we can have fun and communicate...just dont go off and start thinking, pressured speech. flight of ideals,.....etc....smile
