hi there,i get low blood sugar aswell,i have to eat little and often,but alot of the time i think its anxiey aswell .i take 1000mg of depakote plus lots of other med too,ive been taking depakote for over a year and although i may have put on some pounds id rather feel well mentaly.at moment i dont stop,hyperactive in past,now it makes me feel ill,but stretch out my jobs during day so i can last throughout the day without getting to paranoid or feel phobic about anything,cause i think if u r warn out and overdone it ,it makes you feel worse. blaaaaaaaaaaaaa yuk .
