Migraines: Depakote can be prescribed for Migraine prevention & can be added to Zoloft (sertraline). Discuss with your prescribing doctor.

Good choice: But Depakote does have tendency for some drug-drug interactions, yet should be trivial. As a young female, however, discuss the adverse event potential, which includes weight gain, hair loss, tremors, polycystic ovaries, and several birth defects including mental retardation.
