Posted on Tue, 12 Dec 2023
Question: Hello, I am starting to take 1500mg of Depakote delayed release for bipolar. It says on the bottle to take daily. Does this mean I take them all at once at night or can I take one in the morning and two at night. Thank you

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Thanks for your question.

Either option is safe. Generally the dose is split into twice daily dosing. I would clarify this with the doctor who prescribed the Depakote.
