Thanks all for your comments.
Depakote isn't providing any breakthrough for me, but I do notice some improvement. That's a plus right there because, other than Nardil, the ADs I've been on have offered little noticeable improvement at the cost of signficant SEs (particularly the SSRIs).
Of course, prior to being rx'd Depakote, I paid no attention to threads about it, but over the last couple months I've noticed negative Depakote comments more and more. Sometimes, these comments refer to the "horrors" of Depakote, yet provide nothing in the way of specifics (like someone actually experiencing liver damage, blindness, serious hair loss, etc.).
I'm just trying to figure out if the lore of Depakote's getting in the way of its truth.
