Dr. Stuart Winkler answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Nephrology & Dialysis

Depakote: depakote can help partial seizures, absence seizures, bipolar acute mania, and migraine headaches. If your anxiety is a form of bipolar mania it might help otherwise you should get your ativan (lorazepam) refilled and take it.
