i haven't found much on this. has anyone experienced thought racing/heart pounding while increasing depakote? it's been about three nights now that it seems to get worse around bedtime: my chest feels very tight like i'm going to have a panic attack or like i can't get enough air, and i can feel my heart racing and my thoughts are so fast i can't keep up with them. i thought it was an oncoming panic attack the first night, but then it happened the next two nights. plus it's strange that my heart rate just won't slow down- i even tried breathing into a trusty paper bag last night.
I don't seem to fall asleep until 5 or 6 am and even then it's just restless sleep.
[dosage change: depakote- 2,000mg from 1,000mg // keppra gone down from what it used to be, 3500mg to 1500mg. This is the second round of adjustments... The first round had me extremely dopey/non-functional. Dopey-ness has settled but now this.]
My neuro is out of town this week so I'm waiting to hear back from his partner instead, which could take a while. Would appreciate your :twocents:
