Boy, am I glad to read this! Yes, I have experienced this with Depakote and even had a pharmacist looking it up for me at one time. I was on Depakote and Effexor XR at the same time and couldn't figure out why I was feeling depressed. using convoluted logic, I wondered if Depakote calms down mania, maybe it made depression worse. It IS listed in side effects, though. Depakote never did anything much for me besides add weight and make me lose some hair. So, count me as someone to whom this did happen to. Helen
