Hi:
If you have 'rapid cycler,' then 'Depakote' is one of VERY first-lined mood-stabilizer.
As you already knew this, ... Depakote has some 'bad side-effect,' such as *bit* weight-gain/food crave, sleepiness and list goes on. But, if you want to get it stabilized, you may need to think 'plus' and 'minus' ... pros and cons. In my case, a *lot* of 'biking' and 'walking'(also, plenty of walk) around the river-front DID help me NOT gain a pound. Thanksfully, I didn't gain weight at all on Depakote.Hopefully, this med., above, 'Depakote' does not give you too much 'headaches.'
H.G.
