"I am taking a low dose of 500 mg twice. I'm tapering off lithium (300mg for a few more days), so I am not sure how it is stand alone. Lithium did nothing for me, but this drug makes me calmer, sleep better and my anger issues are subsided. I am sad I cannot take a sip of alcohol as an internet search scared the bejesus out of me. DO not drink with this drug!"

"I took depakote two different times, once in 2016 and in 2017. The 5 months I took it in 2016 I noticed I had less ocd and insomnia. My hair got thinner but not so badly and also I felt like I couldn't do activities that requested an intellectual effort. The seconde time I took it for a period of about two months I didn't feel like it slowed me down like the first time, but my hair lost was worse and it made me very hungry. I discontinued it because the hair lost was too much. However it still helped with my ocd and calmness."
