Changing from Depakote ER to Depakote Sprinkles

hoping some one out there might know i was on 250 mg of depakote er for 10 days and my mood became balnk and so empty so i told dr so she wants me to try depakote 125 mg said she would call in the regular depakote but it is depakote sprinkles i was on regular depakote years ago but never the sprinkles,,,,is it the same as regular depakote and is it less likely to make me feel so down since its a lesser dose and not the extendeded release Please someone
