"The first and only double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized study that investigated the effectiveness of valproate in the treatment of anxiety disorders in 68 patients with generalized anxiety disorder reported that valproate significantly reduced anxiety symptoms compared to placebo"
I am prescribed 400mg twice a day of it for seizures and I do think I am generally calmer since I started it. I often take 600mg twice a day instead and it does feel like I've taken a light benzo (like Chlordiazapoxide/Librium). On a bad day I'll take up to 1600mg and there's a definite pronounced pleasant anxiolytic effect.
