You can help me out though. Could you please answer some questions for me?
Were you depressed and did depakote improve the depression? What are the side effects...grogginess? anxiety? confusion? amnesia? sexual?
I took 500mg Depakote ER for a short time, liked it at first, it didn't do much after a couple weeks, and I stopped. I had a severe depression when I stopped and it landed me in the emergency room. When I started it I had diarhhea for weeks and depakote ended that. ???
Anyway, I would love to hear more of your experience with depakote as it is high on my list to revisit.
Thanks!
