I quit taking Depakote on my own (500 mg daily for 6 months) because I didn't like it.
Horrors! Anxiety, insomnia, depression, memory loss. Depakote was never the right drug for me anyway, but the withdrawal symptoms were so severe that I would strongly suggest you taper slowly on a schedule recommended by your psychiatrist. Don't do it on your own.
