mywifesse: There will always be a decrease in sexual activity when a medication for Bi-Polar is being used. They should start to go away gradually, but if they do not then you need to call the Dr that is prescribing the Depakote. Unfortunately, if the Depakote is working then you have to take the good with the bad. Good Luck
