I have been home for like a month. Not that much new bc I'm unemployed at the moment. But I went on depakote and I think that it just deadens me out soo much. I kind of thought that was good at first because I'm "sexually compulsive" meaning massage parlors etc. Sorry to offend. Anyway it seemed to take care of that but I think it took care of everything, like a lobotomy. I feel so depressed from isolating which is my MO. Dunno if it's the isolation or the meds. I'd just like to go to a house in the woods and start drinking again and never come out.

I could not deal with Depakote either. I'd research other alternatives. It's a tough medication for many. Hope you feel better.

I hated depakote, it made my body feel dirty and my mind feel totally clouded, and caused me weight gain practically overnight. There are much better alternatives - trileptal, lamictal, tegretol - all sorts of newer generation anti-convulsants that I would research and ask your doc about. I went in research in hand and absolutely refused to take depakote or lithium.
