"my doc switched me from prozac &amp; abilify to depakote er 500mg at bed time. i&#039;ve been taking depakote er 500mg for almost 4 months now. everyone in my life has noticed a positive change in me. i feel so calm within. my anxiety &amp; insomnia are very much under control now. i&#039;vw suffeerd with bipolar since my teens. i am 38yrs old. depakote er 500 has saved my life! i was done with psych meds &amp; ready to just give up! i&#039;m so glad i have such an amazing doc. no more changing my meds. depakote er 500mg in combo with xanax 1mg 3x&#039;s per day has me back to feeling like myself again. also, i don&#039;t need to take the xanax everyday or 3x&#039;s per day anymore. the depakote er 500mg works for numerous disorders i suffer from. i could go on about the pro&#039;s of this med."
