> So now I have this bottle of Depakote, but I haven't taken a single pill. Because now I'm doubting the whole thing. And I'm both afraid of Depakote working, and not working. I suppose mostly I'm afraid of it working and giving me miserable side effects.

> Can anyone give me some of their personal experieces with Depakote? Hopefully positive?I have had the diagnosis of Bipolar for about 15 years and I am still not sure if it is correct. At any rate, Prozac has helped my tremendously. Lately, it doesn't seem to be working as well so a pdoc perscribed Depakote and for some reason, I too was afraid to take it. Anyway, I started two nights ago (250mg) right after dinner and so far, I havent' had any side effects at all. I hope this helps a little. Collette
