Hmmm. Now you've got me thinking about this one... I'm taking a low dose of Depakote and I read an article (can't find it now of course) that it's mode of action has as much to do with NMDA "effects" as that of GABA transaminase inhibition. ... Anyhow during the several trials of different stimulants that I've been on.. when I was on "higher" dose of Depakote 500mg and using methylphenidate or dexedrine, I didn't really notice any "poop-out" as far as an intended antidepressant or ADHD effect, just a lingering anxiety that I always get with stims and didn't like... and it didn't seem to get worse with time like the trials w/o Depakote..
