Bi polar doc changed my prescription meds ? On side effects [View all]

Been about a month it is one 125 depakote in morning. And then 250 at night and as well a Paxil in the morning, and I swore off beer. I’ve noticed that I’m feeling even and am liking it no dips in mood just a steady emotional and mind a even feeling a steady calm as in my mind does not race. And I’m actually sleeping a lot better like a solid five hours straight. So my questions
1 my appetite has crashed as in really not hungry is this normal. I’ve gone from 163 in weight to 158 and I’m 72 inches is this no appetite normal
2 feeling kind of drowsy especially after the 250 dose
3 tremors in my hands my wife noticed these

I have read side effects on line but if anyone has dealt with these personally and can fill me in with advice it would be greatly appreciated.
