Bipolar and starting meds...?

I have just been diagnosed bipolar and my doctor prescribed Divalproex 500mg twice in the morning and Celexa once a day. I have not taken them yet, but i am worried about taking two of those divalproex at the same time, plus the celexa! Has anyone else taken them and how did you react to them? Any side effects for you?

    Divalproex:For acute mania due to bipolar disorder, treatment is started at 750 mg per day of delayed-release tablets in divided doses. The dose should be increased rapidly to achieve the desired effect.Talk to your doctor.Take care as always.....
