I don't think the depakote would still be effecting blood pressure.
Especially if it didn't while you were on it.

I think I'd stop taking it more than once a day. Maybe take it
after being up for a few hours, after drinking some of the teas
that are supposed to help it. Also it could be the cuff or the
device you have.
Also if at all possible take your device with you on Friday and
have them check it to see if its working correctly.
