Hello everyone,
Im new here and I have read some threads about Depakote(Depakote and Depakene are bassicly same thing right?Valproic acid)But none really where I could read what I am looking for.My question is this;have some of you experienced that Depakene made your depression worse?I have been on it for a week now and everyday is gets worse.I feel angry,aggitated,cry,like I am imploding.When I started taking the depakote I was doing relatively good.I have not been diagnosed as being bipolar but since no anit depressives so far have worked for me my Pdoc prescribed me this.I called her yesterday and told her about what is happening to me.I havent taken them for almost two days and my head clearing which is the only reason why I can even post this.I couldent do anything before.Couldent think straight and just layed in my bed feeling trapped.She claims it is; "inmy head" accourding to her depakote can not cause downess or anger or anything like that to occour and I should just kjeep taking it.
I am having serious doubts about this.So I would very much like to hear other peoples experiences with this med.Is it inmy head?Can Depokate have a bad effect that way?What do you think?
Lilly.
