Hi sageblue,
I am BPII and was put on Depakote after a three month manic phase. It did wonders for that, but it also made me feel like a zombie in terms of thinking ability. We switched to Lamictal and I have had good success with that.
After two to three weeks I regained my energy and was able to carry on a conversation without having to grapple for words. It will get better. Just give it time. Hang in there.
