The only other med I'm on is diazepam (8 mg/day) and hadn't been experiencing this before starting the Depakote.
But think I am getting that internal warmth thing. It's actually kind of nice in some ways. I like that ... "having your brain in a warm bath".

I usually only notice it on a dose increase and then that fades. SSRI's can raise sensation of temperature too and cause sweating, WB made my feet sweat which was a weird thing. Maybe it's another med that you are taking?
