> Interesting. I just started taking Effexor and it is lifting me out of the depression nicely, but it also causes/exacerbates anxiety. I take lorazepam for that, but I wonder if Depakote would help with that instead. I take 400mg of Lithium (I get depressed on higher doses) and I think that helps with irritability/anger. Do you get any side effects from the small dose of Depakote? Does it help you sleep?

> Please keep us posted.Klonopin works great for the anxiety I get from Pristiq (I also got anxiety from Effexor). Depakote works pretty good for the irritability and anxiety, but it can make me depressed and sometimes it gives me insomnia. So, I just don't know.
