Question:
To anyone out there taking Depakote, is there any way to get the 'beneficial?' effects of it W/O the sexual dysfunction side effect??

Answer:
I've never heard of Depakote. What kind of medication is it? As far as the Prozac goes, I got the sexual dysfunction with it as the first one I tried and with each SSRI since. I can sure relate to the "trial and error" approach. Actually I'm listening in hoping to hear of a "new" one to try. I have three distinct problems and no one drug will help all three. St. John's Wort as a second one was *great*. It was the first time in my life I think when I wasn't depressed, then, I couldn't deal with the mucous build up in my throat keeping me awake at night and discovered it was the SJW. So I've been trying to add small amounts of others but there's always a personality glitch I have difficulty accepting. Paxil works well with my Effexor, but, it takes away my barrier between me and the world so I can't leave the house. Too much Effexor and I'm still depressed I'm just an empty person. Luvox just sedated me too much. Prozac gives me a pain in my leg I can't sleep around. I'm *very* discouraged and in dismay. I don't even feel like there's any point in asking for help. I just want them to come out with some new medicaitons. Depakote was developed as an epilepsy (spelling drug), but has come to relatively widespread use for Bi-Polar II. BP II can occur after long-term clinical depression. I have been taking it for a couple of years and seems to be okay. I also take Wellbutrin and was taking Buspar as needed with a little Klonopin once or twice a month. Now the monster is again revealing it's ugly self and we am trying some Serzone and no buspar but still klonopin. We'll see how it goes. Re Depakote, a friend of mine who takes it for his epilepsy - he is the type of person who researches something 5 times and then a 6th just to make sure he didn't miss anything. He told me to be care of what I take with Depakote as it is a "prissy" drug and can react very strangely in combination with other things. Have found this to be true on one or two occassions when I needed to take something for another condition, flu - that sort of thing, so now the first thing I ask when my doctor and I discuss a medication is - does it have any adverse reactions with depakote. Most of the time the doctor has to look it up, but It's my body and I deserve to know. It has helped a little in making my ADs work for a little longer, but alas, they're still losing their effectiveness and my tourettes is driving me CRAZY! (Hard to get a breath in edge wise. Haha.) I have noticed a few people in this group and a.s.depression taking about Depakote, but no major discussion. I'm going to suggest to my shrink monday to try prozac and see how that works out since it is rumored to work with just about every illness/disorder I have. Who knows, maybe my ideal drug was always there waiting and I was just too paranoid from all the media hype to try it. I have already tried Zoloft and Paxil. Zoloft did nothing, and Paxil made me feel like I was poisoning myself, so I discontinued that one. Although, since it was a new medication, and I do have panic attacks/gad, it could just have been a little anxiety causing it.
