Hello. I too have been in your exact situation. Finally, I found a good pschiatrist who prescribed me Depakote ER. At first, he stared me on 1000 milligrams a day. After one month he performed a blood test to check my Depakote levels. They were too low and I was still experiencing my previous symptoms of major depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, sleep disturbances, and seizures.  Recently he increased my Depakote ER dose to 2000 milligrams per day along with 100 milligrams of Trazodone per day. It has truly helped. I just discovered your post dated 05/01/08, so I don't know what course of treatment, if any, that you have been receiving. But if you are still suffering, ask your doctor about Depakote ER. Good Luck. God Bless...... James.
