Any Dose
The total dose is the same, but the release rate is different.
No, the tablets have a coating that controls the rate at which the drug is released and reduces the chance of stomach upset. Cutting the tablet can allow a very high initial dose that can have unpleasant results.
My aunt who has alzheimers just started taking depakote. She already was on Paxil. Dr decreased the dose of paxil from 30mg to 20mg. She takes both paxil and the depakote in the evening.
Yes. I am sensitive to medicine and I take 250 mg of depakote a day. and it seems to work fine.
How much you take depends on your weight.
The recommended dose for beta-1a and 1b is 0.03 mg and 0.25 mg, respectively. Initial doses of beta-1b should be far less (i.e., 0.0625 mg), with a gradual increase in dose over six weeks
Recommended Daily Dose or Recommended Daily Dose
Your psychiatrist will start with a very low dosage and then slowly increase it until the right dosage is found, i.e. the least amount that will be effective. For some people it is as low as 500 or 750mg. For many it is 1000 or 1500mg. Note that this is not a medication you should self-prescribe. It can be very dangerous in some circumstances. Most people do not have serious side effects but some people do, including life-threatening seizures and permanent liver damage. A doctor can minimize the danger. Experimenting with dosage on your own would be extremely hazardous. Even under medical supervision you do not start or stop Depakote suddenly.
No, but it should be trough level (several hours after last dose).
Yes you can take twice the recommended dose of the morning after pill. However it is not recommended. Although safe, it is never a good idea to take more than the recommended dose of any medication.
The recommended dosage of medication in a single dose is 0.05ml.
