"well i&#039;ve been taking depakote 250mg twice a day with citalpram 25mg for 10+ years.  it has worked genius for me.  love it. here recently, the last month or so it&#039;s working so well.  tried taking carbamazepine and it through me for a loop.  i had suicidal thoughts again, i broke out in rashes on my shoulders and arms, my face would get flushed and i started my cycle 2 weeks early.  which my dr then immediately took me off of it 4 that last reason.   i wanted a bump up from my 500mg so that&#039;s why she prescribed me that. two 300mg pills a day along with my citalpram.  my dr said alot of her patients love it.   i did not!   lol. i told her i took one for the team.  now on to try something else.  shit.  btw i&#039;m 35."
