Depakote sort of slowed me down as well.......made me tired, especially in the middle of the day. Then I changed over to lithium which, for me, has been symptom free if I take it with food. Oddly enough, I liked Depakote because it was the first medicine that seemed to click for me. I started on Valium and that made me whacky. Later, my pdoc took me off Ativan because it is habit-forming. Then I went to Depakote.
