And       I won't start tapering off my bipolar medication (1250 mg divalproex sodium       and 7.5 mg olanzapine) just yet, but may request a slight decrease when I       next see my psychiatrist on September 25, if all is still well then.              --       David Dalton dalton@nfld.com http://www.nfld.com/~dalton (home page)       http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page)       “But once there was a darkness, deep and endless night       You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light” (S.
