In reply to Depakote causing depression??, posted by Sonya on June 9, 2005, at 18:28:18
I was switched to Depakote and Seroquel last January after a hospital stay. I had been on lithium but my hypothyroid condition had worsened. Long story short, I HATED depakote. It was touted as an antianxiety along with antimanic but made me sluggish, apathetic, crabby, plus my hair started falling out. I also hated Seroquel which made me very tired. The two together and I could barely move out of my chair. It was a very murky place without light or hope.
Went back on lithium and the difference was profound.
