During all the period, my doctor never test my blood.. until I complain my bella pain... and then the report is like that:

Sodium 140 142 mmo1/L
Potassium 3.9 4.2 mmo1/L
Urea 4.5 4.6 mmo1/L
Creatinine 59 63 umo1/L

I don't know about this since I am not a doctor. I also take Depakote and my doctor tests twice a year. I am also Diabetic type 2 and get tests several times a year. If you have any doubts, ask the doctor. The medication might need to be adjusted if they think the test results warrant it.


bipolar since age 33. Stable now on meds. Interests, making friends, home, family, pets, webbing
