I just started taking lithium today. I've been on Depakote for the last 8 months and have gained 40 lbs and sleep way, way too much. I no longer feel like running my car off the road, but think that the weight gain is simply too much -- I know if this continues, I'll definitely stop taking my meds. So my p-doc started me on lithium with the hope of tapering me off depakote. I'm hoping that the side effects will not be as acute.
