Maybe by that time I don't feel that bad.

It can take a little while to grow accustomed to the changes medicines cause. Depakote is one of the more stimulating AED's. Not a real problem if you're only taking one or two meds. But, the more medications we take, the more side effects we often suffer.
Chances are that the side effects of Depakote will be easier to manage once you're able to get off another medication (or two!). That said, Trileptal is an AED used for partial seizures as well. Are you stopping that one, or taking it for mood control?
Hugs to you ~ Hope that you feel better very soon
