Has anyone had success in using it for anxiety or panic disorder? Is it worth a shot?

I'm not an expert, but I would try neurontin first. I think depakote can make your hair fall out, and I haven't heard anything about it being good for anxiety.

I have been on 250-750 mg depakote for a couple of years in combo with various anti-depressants for pain and irritability. I have also had panic disorder in the past and have depression/anxiety/insomnia now and have found depakote to be great at my dosage. I have had no side effects other than a 5 lb weight gain. It helps a lot with my insomnia and even my social anxiety. I would say definitely give it a try.
