> It's amazing how good a full nights sleep can be.I'm glad that you are being helped by Depakote. For me, Depakote worked immediately and completely to extinguish the antidepressant-induced manias that I have had. Zyprexa works miracles for me, too. Lithium and Lamictal have not been effective.
Be sure to have a few blood tests over the next 6 months to screen for liver function and platelet count. Usually, there is no problem.
