I remember feeling "odd" when I came off depakote, I had like a swimmy feeling in my head all the time and I also got a return of migraines.  If memory serves me correctly I felt like this for about a fortnight following each drop down in dose.  It could also be the combination of getting used to the lithium.  I'm also now on lithium and have found it the best thing ever!  Wish I'd tried it years ago.  Good luck xx
