Three weeks on Depakote.
Positive results: one day of relative calm.
Negatives/side effects: permanent near-stupor, dazed, unfocussed, irritable state.Depression worsening daily.
Speech/memory impairment (slurring, tripping over words).
Insomnia, disturbed and disrupted sleep (unable to sleep until around 3am daily- then sleep is broken and uneasy;nightmares every night, without fail).
Sexual side effects (you heard me!)similar to ssri's.
Verdict. Bollocks, as we say here in Blighty.
Here endeth my depakote trial.
