Hi akc,I did a search on this board, and found 350 threads (187 in year 2001) on this issue. Just do it in the advanced search function and type in:
depakote "weight gain"
(use the quotes)
and click the button "all terms." Then it searches for everything. You should have some good reading there. BTW, since I am reading up on this same topic myself, it seems that it's likely one will gain at least a little weight. But the Topamax can be used to counteract this.
Which AD are you on? Ever tried Wellbutrin? Just curious... Last night on chat you said you couldn't remember what each drug was supposed to do in your cocktail. If you can remember, it would help me or anybody else who's anxious to help you with this... Does seem like it's time to look more closely at the meds.
all the best,
Wendy
