I get nauseated easily from a variety of meds. Weirdly enough, Depakote doesn't make me nauseous. If I took a higher dose I probably would though (above 500mg/day). It is possible I could have stayed at a very low dose of Trileptal and waited a couple of months to see if it would fade and then increase it a tad more, but the nausea didn't seem to fade after a month of being on 225mg/day (the max I could tolerate). I also got the worst blurred vision on it, street signs were getting tough to read. Daytime dosing really zonked my cognition at times.. I could be in a meeting where people were discussing complicated issues and just get lost.. HUH? WHAT? I'd rather just take all my Depakote in the evening/bedtime and let the blood level fade down while I'm trying to work the next day.
