Good question, and I don't really know.
I think that gaba may be low in depression, but not as low as it is in mania or epilepsy. So if the dose is too high, an anticonvulsant may decrease neuronal activity too much.
Depakote also has effects on certain ion channels, such as blocking calcium and sodium chanels. It also decreases PKC.
I have to admit, that too much brought be down fairly quickly, but the right dose seemed to help.
