Gosh my expertise is not meds waves, Mrs. D usually has great info there, but I know I talked to a pharm rep in the doc's office of the zyprexra and how it knocked the energy and had dd talking gibberish to me. He admitted that it is a med that has to be tittered up slowly, like break down to 2 mg for weeks then to 4, etc. not sure if I have the dose right. but it was minuscule doses at first. I never had experience with depakote, but 1000 on top of the zyprexa sounds lik enough to make a horse over sleep and be out of it. I remember a grown man taking zyprexa 10 mg went to work and fell asleep on his fork lift.

It is a med that works but I certainly think it is worth reducing it down to nothing and building up over 6-8 weeks to the minimal dose to help symptoms and not make you a zombie.
Hope you feel better soon.
