However, bipolar disorder is a chronic condition that requires scientifically proven treatments to keep your mood stable. Currently, there is no clinical evidence that homeopathy can cure or effectively manage bipolar disorder. Stopping your Dicorate ER (divalproex sodium) and Sulphitac (amisulpride) suddenly can lead to a severe relapse of symptoms. I strongly encourage you to talk openly with your doctor about your side effects; they can often adjust your doses or find alternative conventional medications that are much easier for you to tolerate.

Please do not alter your medication doses on your own. I highly recommend consulting your neurologist to review your plan. They may suggest monitoring your blood medication levels or safely adjusting your regimen to help get your seizures under control.

I highly recommend discussing your plans with your prescribing doctor, who can safely guide you and discuss any potential alternatives if needed.
