> 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.
