My doctor increased my depakote dose to 1000mg is this considered a high dose and will the new dose add on more side effects than what i already have?

Standard dose: The dose of depakote needed is most often based on blood level, range of avg doses , 1000mg common. Yes it is possible that a bigger dose will result in more SE, but would not expect giant increase, usually mild or modest increase if any at all.

Dose ok: This is not a very large dose A blood level will tell you if the dose is right side effects may be dose dependent ,if they are not acceptable there are good alternatives to Depakote
