I wonder if I really need it… I am not sure how it works. Is it against mania? Or against depression? and mostly, does it help your anxiety or its maybe causing it more?
Please, share

Depakote was my first mood stabilizer.
It basically just kept me somewhat balanced.
Not too high, not too low.
It didn’t help my anxiety, I had seroquel that also helped with that.
Thanks for the answer.
I am not sure I am really mood affected… One of my biggest issues is the anxiety and maybe the negatives and the depression. I wonder if they prescribe it against anxiety too?.. Is it more for mania or for a depression?
Depakote is a powerful anticonvulsant.
It helps with mania, depression and anxiety.
I’d be in the hospital without it.
In fact I wonder if it can cause more anxiety? If its more against mania, its possible… I never had manias lol…
I don’t think so, it’s a more calming med, at least it was for me.
In fact I tried to lower it. And today I am more anxious… I also couldn’t stop pacing when I see the others… Is it possible to be so dependent on a med, gosh? Or its me who suggests to myself some more worries? I am just always so afraid that I’ll go mad… Or that my state will become life threatening… I lowered the depakote just with 250 mgs… Does it really help my anxiety by such a small dose? I think ill go back in it usual dose… Idk, I look like a very worried person… All this somatization… But it feels like its all in my head idk… Cause, no, I am always worried just about myself… At least, my mom says it so… But I am scared of how hypersensible am I. Is it typical for sz in fact?
