John,
How nice and thoughtful of you to remember I started taking it recently and to ask me! Thanks!
Well, after two days of *zombification* (it was scary how sedated and zombie like I was, but my pdoc told me to expect heavy sedation), I now have NO sedation and no side effects that I can *feel* if you know what I mean.
Pdoc thought it would help me sleep, but nope. I have bad insomnia.
But it does seem to have knocked out the high, intense anxiety I was plagued with while titrating up on the Lamictal.
However, I am in the midst of MAJOR STRESS with my living situation and I'm afraid it might set back what little progress I feel I have started to make on the Depakote. Today I have been very anxious, worried, nervous, although it does feel muted and I think that's due to the Depakote.

I'm sorry I can't remember the meds you're on or have been on (memory is shot to he!!), so I'm wondering are you currently on Depakote, and if so, at what dose? Or if you were previously on it, what dose were you on and why did you stop it?
(Pdoc started me at 500mg/day, but we may increase it)
