Depakote is a mood stabilizer not an antidepressant. You might have been prescribed this by a psychiatrist for Bipolar Mood disorder. It needs to be continued as per your psychiatrist advise. It would be good for you to get your diagnosis known correctly to get educated and be more drug compliant. All the best.
