There is even now an app for smart phones on depletions!

I haven't tried it since I don't have one of these phones so I can't say it is a complete as the reference I use, by Ross and Pelton.
But yes, Depakote depletes carnitine primarily and folic acid.
It is interesting that there is a drug RX in US for treating depression that is nutrient responsive. It is called Deplin, and has 7.5mg of methylfolate in it (this is the activated form of folic acid).
There are people with MTHFR genetic mutation (approx 10% of humans) who cannot methylate folic acid, and hence cannot use it properly. The methylfolate bypasses that error.
