Hi, everyone. I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder recently, and my doctor told me to drop my Citalopram (I was taking this one because I thought I was just depressed) and told me to start Depakote /  Divalproex Sodium. I'm a little curious about the effects and side effects you guys might have experienced, and I have a few questions on my mind.

* Does it affect libido? 
* Does it make you sick, dizzy or sleepy? I have an excessive sleepiness, so I'm a little worried about that.
* Does it work for both manic and depressive phases, or just manic ones? I feel more depressed than manic I think, I'm worried about that as well.
* How long did it take for your body to adjust to it? 
* Was your experience good in general?
