Anticonvulstants, particularly Depakote deplete body levels of folic acid, a nutrient that is key to mood. If you are not already, I would suggest suplementing with folic acid in the range of 600mcg-1mg. For some, this has reversed the only transient response to other anticonvulstant meds such as lamictal etc.
Good Luck
