In reply to Depakote may HELP bipolar depression!!!!!!!!!!, posted by bipolarspectrum on June 11, 2005, at 19:55:47
Yes, Depakote clearly helped my depression. I was on nothing - not so great obviously, then I was on Seroquel (great for racing thoughts, restlessness, etc). But I still was depressed (drinking and SI regularly) and so my doc added Depakote in addition to the seroquel, and the difference was undeniable for me - almost from day 1.
I read somewhere else that it helps agitated types of bipolar depression, like that seen in a mixed episode.
