> What are the differences in the side effect profiles of Depakote and lithium?

Lin - Side Effects of Lithium & Depakote

Lithium - (initial or start-up) - stomach upset, nausea, vertigo, muscle weakness, and a dazed feeling. These usually disappear once you are stabilized on a dose.
(most common and persistent) - fine tremor of the hands, and, at times, fatigue, thirst, peeing a lot, and nephrogenic diabetes incipidus (a pseudo-diabetic state where you are spilling glucose into the urine).

Depakote - (most common) - nausea, vomitting, headache, myalgia (muscle pain), dizziness, and diarrhea.

Hope this helps (not inclusive, but I'm being called to dinner) - Cam
