> Marshaumm, i don't know much about depakote but i have been having bouts of extreme agitation lately, and have been getting violent to the point of injuring myself. my family doctor suggested it, so the drug may be very versatile and reliable against hyperagitated states... or i'm guessing maybe... another thing you could try and i hate the fact that i keep suggesting it is an atypical antipsychotic like zyprexa, they come in a dissolvable kind so they can work extra quick and have significant antidepressant (and very calming) effects in many people.
unfortunately, i get very weak and sleepy on them and can't tolerate them.
