In reply to Still, How does Depakote supposed to feel ?, posted by jimmygold70 on April 2, 2001, at 6:19:58
Depakote is often prescribed as mood stabilizer or an anti-manic. At high enough doses (.75 blood level) it made me feel like I had cold compress around my brain. I would think it might counteract hyperarousal.
Good luck.> How does Depakote supposed to feel ? Will it make me numb ? More energetic ? Counteract my hyperarousal ?
