I was just curious as to whether or not people have had success with depakote? I started a little over a week ago and I've found my self extremely irritable and zombie like. I've lost motivation, am extremely tired, and cannot fall asleep. It's starting to take effect on me at work. It's even difficult for me to think anymore. Prior to this I was on lamotrigine. No success there. I have rapid cycling bipolar. I'm praying something out there will help me.
