My bipolar mother just moved in with me eight months ago and is currently having an episode which she’s hospitalized for and I can’t tell you how helpful this information is. I did not know any of this. She recently went to urgent care and was put on dandelion root, which apparently is somewhat of a diuretic, I never heard of that stuff about vomiting or anything so this is valuable to me. Thank you so much.

Another main thing with valproic acid is it is contraindicated in pregnancy so ask about birthday control!
