I was on both Effexor and Depakote this winter and felt really awful the whole time. I never slept and the Depakote made me swell like a baloon. This really did not work for me at all. Actually I wish I could handle Effexor because a lot of people seem to improve a lot on it but the nervous tension just never went away and I had to stop taking it.
> I've found Depakote to be a helpful addition to Effexor at times. I don't feel dysthymic on Effexor-- mostly "normal"- but every now and then I start feeling really panicky that I'm getting depressed again- and Depakote levels me right out. (It also makes me a little tired, so I don't want to stay on it forever...)
