Depakote is supposed to be anti anxiety. But I swear, when I took it in doses of 500mg to 1000mg there was a pronounced increase in anxiety. It was still there a month later. I ended up going off it. I'm not sure of the mechanism, and it is not a primary mechanism, but one of the many things depakote does is increase dopamine in certain parts of the brain. That might be where the anxiety comes from. I know depakote is not supposed to do that, but it did with me and apparently maybe you too.
