Depakote ER (divalproex sodium): Great medicine, it's the only one that stops the agitation that comes with being too manic for too long. It keeps me from crashing after mania because the mania never peeks. I would have given it a 10, but sometimes a little coffee can make me get manic even though I have taken the medicine.

Depakote Sprinkles (divalproex sodium): I am very new at taking this drug for bipolar. I was on Lithium and stopped it due to the weight gain.
So far, it's been 2 days and I already feel good.

Depakote (divalproex sodium): I have been using Depakote for nearly eight years now and has kept my mania episodes under control. The only thing is I have weight gain from using this medication but thats a small price to pay.
thank you
