Depakote increases the amount of GABA (neurotransmitter) your body creates. Yeah, you shouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole.
Propranolol is a beta blocker. Same difference. They tried to give me beta blockers for high blood pressure. The bottle is still sitting in my cupboard from 15 years ago. Olive leaf extract had the same efficacy without making me feel like a zombie who lost 40 IQ points.
If it affects brain chemistry, you should only use it as a last resort after everything else (diet, exercise, etc) have been tried. If your doctor doesn't suggest the alternatives first and tries to push brain chemistry pills on you, it's time to find a new doctor.
