Yes, Depakote is mostly for keeping a lid on mania while your SSRI should help with the depression.
I'm on 500 mg Depakote, 300 mg Wellbutrin (have you tried it?) and 225 mg of Effexor. I am mostly depressed with very short, mild hypomanic episodes. I understand that feeling where as soon as you start to "feel good" on a new med you think it might be mania!
Good luck!
