depakote withdraw

I have been on depakote for 7 years and want to get off. Lethargy, irritability and fatigue are just too much. What is the best way to decrease the meds and what are the side effects?

they gave you Depakote for anxiety??? That's odd. It's used for Bipolar disorder.

I want to know to. I have been on 1000 mg Depakote for two weeks and I just want to get off of it. I am taking Lexapro and I think that is enough. I have cloudy urine, tremors, fatigue, lethargy, irritability, impulsive, and all sorts of stuff. I was given it for anxiety and nothing else.
