right.
now im even more confused.
the first packet of depakote i was given, i had i think, in that box, fourty, maybe less. and they were definately depakote, cause when i first got it, i did the read the instruction part and all that milarky.
today, for the first time in weeks i have paid attention to what it says on the foil of the tablet packet thing... the bit that breaks for the tablet to come out, and instead of saying depakote 250mg.....
it says.... Omeprazole 40mg.
My prescription definately said depakote, and so did the second box I had, which had summit like 98 in there... so i have taken 98 tablets, thinking they were depakote, with moods going like mad... them saying i have no mood disorder....
and they were tablets for...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
it explains a hell of a lot though. depakote helped me two years ago.
this time, at first but then not at all!!!!!!
I'm on Depakote, Effexor and Seroquel at the moment. You may get reflux with these, or a combination of them. I end up taking an Omeprazole every couple of days to help my stomach.
That's why you've been prescribed them
none of my prescriptions have said omeprazole... only depakote and fluoxetine and recently zopiclone. but now thatll change to.
but ive never been prescribed omeprazole. i always read what theyre prescribing me cause i dont trust them!
jeeze!! i cant believe this!! haha!
On the plus side, I don't think they will be doing you much harm.
theyve taken me off depakote now so i guess it doesnt matter. but if they decide in the future i need a mood stabilizer, this will explain why depakote didnt help like it did last time
