Bipolar Disorde
"I have ADHD and Bipolar Type 2. I started seeing Depakote&#039;s first signs of mood stabilization after a week on 500mg daily (a very small dose). It was great to have a clear mind. At the low dose I&#039;ve been on, I would say my Bipolar symptoms are about 75% under control, which is great. I can also sleep easier.



In terms of side-effects, all I&#039;ve gotten are vivid dreams on a nightly basis (not nightmares, but sometimes uncomfortable) and very brief auditory hallucinations (hear a loud bang, like a door closing, stuff like that). The hallucinations happen about two times per night, but I&#039;ve been through worse hallucinations on SSRIs, so I am not too concerned. I also take between 20 and 30mg Dexedrine ER per day for my ADHD. 



It&#039;s been 3 weeks"
