hi darkeyes,

i haven't used topamax, but i have heard the same claims about preventing weight gain or causing weight loss. is this something you've talked with your doctor about (the weight gain with depakote) and has your doctor suggested trying topamax?

you might want to try a search (i like <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.google.com>Google</A>) using "topamax and mood disorders" as a topic. it seems the most recent info comes from other message boards where others are posting questions about this medicine.

take care,
