you should absolutely get a test about 4 weeks after starting depakote and then check with your dr. once it's stabilized, it's still a test every six months.
if 1000 mg isn't doing it, don't give up. a higher dose or an adjunct med might do it.
if your dr. has been remiss in ordering this test, i'd question their reliability - it's very important.
