For me, i take 1000mgs of Epilim (depakote) a day and I know this is on the lower end (i know people that take over 2000mgs) my blood levels are quite high so i guess its an individual thing.

>I don't have acute episodes that are too disruptive because I chronically take antimanic compounds. I've found that 375mg of Depakote is capable of keeping me stable as long as no offending substances are involved.
