In reply to Depression on Depakote?, posted by cache-monkey on April 23, 2005, at 22:14:17
I took Depakote for many years to help prevent migraines. My pdoc also thought it would help provide a "floor" for my depression. I don't think it did that at all, and I may have even been more depressed. A second pdoc couldn't understand why I didn't feel better when he upped my Depakote dose. I actually felt worse. It is my understanding that it doesn't have any antidepressant qualities, which is what I needed. It can calm you.
