In reply to Depakote for Anxiety Instead Of Benzos????, posted by Phillipa on March 23, 2009, at 15:42:55
I took depakote for a while, a couple of months. It was supposed to have an antidepressant effect. I was taking 1000mgs all at bedtime. Boy did it kill my anxiety. It also made me feel like a zombie and gave me terrible diarreah (sp?). I haven't tried it but I have wondered if a small amount, like 250mgs, would work on my anxiety but I haven't tried it yet. Neurontin, another mood stabilzer, works as well or better than klonopin. If I could just get off the damn klonopin.
