Depakote is an anti-convulsant, all these type of meds are also mood stabilisers , and are used for mood disorders like bipolar , depakote's strong point though is the control of mania/ manic episodes(still acts as a stabiliser)-I would say ur on this cus ur currently on an anti depressant for the lows(other anticonvulsants acts equally for the high and low-this one just a little bit more for the highs)
