RK,
It's funny well not funny. Bad choice of words. Concerning Depakote,zombie-like,sedating state was exactly what I experienced the short time I was on this particular drug. I started on 250mg and didn't feel this way until I titrated to 750mg. Then it hit me hard. Depression set in and that zombie zoned out stuck looking at the wall with my pajamas on all day feeling came. My pdoc quickly took me off it and said that sometimes with people that rapid cycle such as myself with depression and bipolarl tend to stop cycling and come out of the depression but go too low instead of stabilizing. That was interesting to hear,especially since I heard about so many people doing well on this drug. Also most people gain weight on this one. I lost an enormous amount of weight. Go figure...lol
