In reply to Depakote causing depression??, posted by Sonya on June 9, 2005, at 18:28:18
> I've been on 1000mg Depakote daily for 8 months. I also take 50mg Seroquel at bedtime for sleep and anxiety. I was diagnosed Bipolar II last year after a hospitalization. Lately I'm so tired, apathetic and especially lethargic that everything is an effort. I don't know whether the lethargy is because of returning depression or a side effect I'm now experiencing from Depakote. Will see my pdoc in 3 weeks about this. Anyone heard of Depakote causing depression?
Yes, I recently stopped Depakote because of doom and gloom feeling it gave me. Depakote is truly what they say, antimanic med, which I'm not. I was just trying it for anxiety and it made it worse also.
