You know how much I love Depakote. It’s still a picky med for me, like everything. Depakote CR (regular release) is not effective at all for me; my blood level won’t go to therapeutic. For some reason someone got the idea to try me on ER, which was new, before stopping it, and at a high dose that works for me. My dose has to be maintained at a super-high level at all times, and I need lots of bloodwork to stay here. But it works. It keeps the anger controlled and helps me sleep, some of the most important things.

Trileptal wasn’t good. I have no idea if this was because I was trying it instead of lithium, which wasn’t a good thing for me, but I didn’t last long on it. In fact it was one of the few drugs my doctor didn’t even want to try longer. I know though she didn’t really expect it to work, but it was the last option that wasn’t an antipsychotic and because I’d had a severe reaction to 2 APs and then topped those by getting EPS with Geodon we were trying to avoid those. (Again wishing I had only known how much my body loves Seroqeul). That usually only happens when I’m having a severe reaction. I couldn’t get anywhere close enough a real dose because it made me so, so sleepy. I was cutting pills into 16ths and still not doing well. I wasn’t getting enough med to help, but I couldn’t tolerate the sleepiness. I only lasted about a month on it. About 2 months later I started my current micro-dose of lithium regime which I’ve been much happier about.

Hmph. I’ve never thought of turnip in that context. I usually disguise it by putting it in stew or steaming it with carrot. Thanks for the tip! Glad to read you’re feeling better

I have been a big fan of Janet (fondofsnape’s) photography for years. We met as friends through blogging and I can honestly say she has the best ability to find a photograph in anything and then take an amazing shot if it - she stops nothing short of stopping mid-lane to take a good photo….always fun when you are riding in the car with her! LOL!

I’m pretty sure anything would be tasty with bacon… ice cream, Cheerios, shoe leather… you know. Hey, you modest little mouse - you were featured on Derfwad Manor and as far as I can see you haven’t even bragged about it. Very cool, very cool indeed!

Once again I find myself wondering why you don’t live around the corner. Bacon!
