I think the first is Dilantin and Depakote is anticovulsant drug but is used for Bipolar.
Both drugs work very well for seizures.

Phenytoin Sodium is otherwise known as Dilantin. It is an anti-seizure medication.
Depakote (don't remember the generic name) is traditionally an anti-seizure medication, however it is sometimes used to treat psychiatric disorders, particularly mania or psychosis.
