Depakote for Xanax withdrawal??

Question

My doctor realized that I had physically become dependant on Xanax, and told me throw the remaining pills out, and he gave me Depakote 500 milligrams once a day. I was just wondering is this normal to do, and is this safe? I know Depakote is an anti-seizure, so I wont have any seizures from withdrawal but is there anything else to be worried about? I am very shakey and I have mild chest pain on and off I've had this before with withdrawal I was just wondering is it safe to just be taking Depakote? Thanks

Don't worry about a thing^_^

Xanax is the stuff you got to be woried about and it is a good thing he gave you Depakote as it will counteract the effects of Xanax in your body because long term taking of Xanax might cause hypertension^_^
