Question
My husband has been taking  1 Wellbutrin300 mg, and 2 500mg Depakote for 1 week.  He feels dizzy, eyes watery and very agitated.  Should we call the dr or will this get better with time?

Answer
This is a medical matter and should be discussed with the doctor.

Your husband can also benefit from going on a hypoglycemic diet, and his should also be discussed.
