I never got sweaty palms and dry mouth on Depakote, but I can say that it can cause an internal "warmth" feeling-- I think Spriggy called it having your brain in a warm bath-- it's kind of difficult to describe. I usually only notice it on a dose increase and then that fades. SSRI's can raise sensation of temperature too and cause sweating, WB made my feet sweat which was a weird thing. Maybe it's another med that you are taking?
