Depakote - fatigue???

[emily_c_1978]

My Depakote dose was upped to 750 mg (250 mg 3x/daily). I feel EXHAUSTED. Has anyone else experienced this? I feel like my brain is underwater. Any replies will do...thanks

I'm on 500 mg Depakote and felt like that for the first couple weeks, then it levelled off. If the med agrees with you, it should go away during treatment. If it doesn't level off within a couple weeks and/or you are still having bad side effects, I'd go back to the doc. Hope you feel better soon.

I was on Depakote and Seroquil simultaneously and I LITERALLY passed out on tables when I was in the 'ward.
I don't know if it was the combination, or what, but I DEFINITELY got super tired as a result of one of/both of these meds!

I'm on 1000mg of the Dep and I think I am a zombie now. I hate it. But uh, at least I'm stable?
I was TOTALLY stoned the first day of each augmentation of the dose (ugh sorry for the awkward sentence, my brain isn't functioning in English today), but it gets better. So at least there's that!

Thank you guys...I think Depakote makes you so stoned you forget the mania.

my daughter was tired for a little bit and then it leveled off.
