Medication is an essential part of successful treatment for bipolar disorder, and Depakote is the newest medication approved to treat mania. With the proper dosage, Depakote can reduce manic symptoms, shorten hospitalization, help prevent future manic episodes, and make it possible for an individual to live productively in the community.
If Depakote ER is available to you at the same cost as divalproex, or close, it may be worth using the ER version. People can get their dose higher with this version than with divalproex, in most cases, without causing weight gain. And get the same benefit in terms of symptom control.
