Question 1

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes. The metabolism of the two compounds are unrelated, so no interference.

Question 2

can i take adderall (20 mg) with plexus slim?

Accepted Answer

Better not: one of the ingredients of Plexus slim is caffeinated, which interacts with Adderall, producing more CNS stimulation. Good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications

Question 3

if you take depakote can it help constipation?

Accepted Answer

No: Constipation as actually a side effect reported in 1-5 % of patients on oral depakote. The incidence of diarrhea (0.9%) is only seen with the intravenous use of depakote( valproate sodium), and is  not the best option for managing constipation. Try increasing water, friuts veggies in take and gradually introduce fiber in diet. If otc remedies are not helpful then see your doctor for evaluation/care.

Question 4

can i take xanax (alprazolam) and depakote together?

Yes but..: Be careful, as the combination of the two can cause increased central nervous system depression- cognitive slowing and fatigue and psychomotor depression. Take together at night before bed and don't operate any heavy machinery or drive before you know how it affects you.

Question 5

can you take topomax with depakote for mood disorders?

Accepted Answer

Yes,but: The two meds have been used together for numerous epileptic patients, and have minimal drug-drug interactions, and Depakote blood levels can guide dosing.  Side effect profile is biggest issue.  Topamax: memory and speech, kidney stones, narrow angle glaucoma, metabolic acidosis.  Depakote: weight gain(maybe mitigated by topamax), hair loss, tremors, ovarian cysts, pancreatitis, osteoporosis, etc.

Accepted Answer

Yes: I use an online software program through Epocrates to check for drug-drug interactions. I inputted Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and Adderall and no interactions are listed. It should be fine.

Question 10

how long does it take to reach the therapeutic blood level for depakote?

Accepted Answer

Depends: To reach a steady state level you must wait for a least 5 half-lives of the drug (9->16 hours). If the level is subtherapeutic, the dose needs to be increased and the same process repeated. The dose can be increased by 250 mg 2->3 times /day, depending on how often it is taken. Many drugs interact with Depakote affecting its metabolism.  You should have informed your doctor of all your medications.
