I attempted to "wean" myself off Depakote after 6 months of 500 mg daily. I didn't like it and decided to taper off on my own...obviously much too fast. Terrible withdrawal - I stopped sleeping, started experiencing panic attacks for the first time, anxiety level cranked up to an unbearable degree. I'm not suggesting that you stay on Depakote, only that you taper under medical supervision. Very important!
