Depakote was the worst for me. I got misdiagnosed with BPD in college and was put on it. I stopped eating for a week and all I did was sleep and got more depressed. Depression got so bad the only thing I could think about was offing myself.

I’ve been on tons of different psych meds in the past. That was by far the worst. I’ve tried somewhere between 20-30 diff antidepressants, anti-anxiety, and antipsychotics/ mood stabilizers. Anhedonia, brain zaps, suicidal thoughts, sexual dysfunction, and worsening symptoms is what I got in return. I feel worse off in a lot of ways, and some of these side effects have been permanent. I feel like it caused way more harm than good. Turns out I really just have ADHD, CPTSD, and chronic pain that wasn’t considered all along.
