In reply to Just starting Depakote. What was your experience?, posted by greywolf on March 20, 2006, at 18:08:40
My first day on depakote 500mg was great. I became very relaxed, comfortable, and had an increase of motivation. Depression and anxiety vanished. The second day was good too, but not quite as good as the first. From then on it really didn't feel like it did much. After about a month I felt like it was creating a new type of mild depression different than the one I had started with. After two months I tapered off.
The only side effects I had were a little bit of fogginess and a little bit of cognitive function dulling.
Excellent drug for fast control of mixed states, but I'm not sure how well it works in the long term.
