The last time I was hopitalized for wanting to commit suicide, the pdoc there put me on Depakote. I was there in the hospital for a week and remained on 1000mg of Depakote for 2 weeks. I felt I had no emotions whatso ever. Only depression which was still very severe. My regular pdoc stopped the Depakote. He thought it was making my depression worse. I have been diagnosed as bipolar 2 with rapid cycling and mixed episodes with major depression and GAD, but the depression is the worse out of all of it. My doctor put me on Lamictal. I'm 3 days into 5 weeks on it and so far, the depression is not any better.
