I am going to have a lot of peppermint tea and chamomille tea to help with my anxiety and they also have a laxative effect. yesterday i compulsively ate. I don't know if it the depakote. I slept a lot.I am having a hard time concentrating and difficulty in reading. have vivid dreams and a lot of mood swings. A lot of the time the antidepressant is working. I see the psychiatrist in two weeks.
