That's an interesting combination.
I would be careful going higher than 2000 mg/day with valproate. It can cause thrombocytopenia (platelet dysfunction). I had problems at 3000 mg/day.
Some people report depression in association with valproate. However, if you have failed to respond to other things, I wouldn't discourage you from trying it.
