I keep reading horrible things people have to say about Depakote, yet about 6 weeks in and it's one of the easiest meds I've ever tried. You name the SSRI, SNRI, NDRI, TCA, and I've been on it, and almost all of them have SEs I found intolerable in light of their relative therapeutic ineffectiveness.While I've obtained at least some mood stabilization from Depakote at 1250mg/day (not much, but enough to notice) with just slight fogginess and some vision blurring that I can't really tag Depakote with, it's a far cry from the typical SSRI SEs I experienced (moderate to severe fatigue, nausea, dizziness, etc.).
