Hi dear,
After going through your query it looks you are having mood disorder for which you was prescribed depakote.I don't know why you was referred to neurologist.You please send details of your doses of depakote ,xanax.Consult your previous treating doctor or a psychiatrist so that your doses should be adjusted.Don't take medicines without consulting doctor. yes buspirone can be added to relieve anxiety along with clonazepam.
