Beth,
I've been on Depakote (a mood stabilizer) since last summer and have had literally every single side effect listed in the PDR  --including nausea that pinned me to the couch/bed (whichever I could reach first) because I couldn't stand up without feeling *so* ill. What worked for me was to take the Extended Release form of Depakote before bed, so you might see if that's an option for you. The only reason I've gotten nauseous lately is from an attempt to raise the dosage, so you might see if you can lower your dosage just slightly. Finally, give it some time (4-6 weeks--sounds like forever, doesn't it?), and if the nausea's not better then, definitely pursue one of the first two suggestions, okay? Good luck, and feel free to e-mail me privately if you've got more questions!
Amelia
