I also wanted to say, that seems like a big jump in dosages. Is a little bit of an increase not an option?
Hi, I was on Depokote, gained a lot of weight and loss half of my hair. Now I realize everyone is different but...I said enough is enough. I was put on something else, another mood stabilizer. There are so many diff drugs to choose from for bipolar to help a person. If the amount of medicine you are taking needs to be increased in order to work, I would think about another alternative, if you are in a place in your mind right now to make that decision. Other choice is to give it a try and see how it goes. Keep us updated if you can. Hope this helps, Crystal
