"while new to depakote, i&#039;m not really sure this med is helping my bipolar disorder. 

i was on lithium er for five years and life was good, no night terrors, no mania, low level depression events at times and i was nice or cordial with people but tremors got so bad couldn&#039;t do much of anything   with the depakote the night terrors are horrific at best, think i&#039;m rapid cycling, mania appears out of the blue and depression i don&#039;t want to think about. is it the dosage or that i&#039;m new to depakote. any insight appreciated"
