I gained a hundred pounds when I was taking Depakote. Ugghh. I blame my doctor for keeping me on it so long.

I have gained nearly 50lbs. As far as meds go, I have tried, Topamax, Trileptal, Lamictal, Lithium, and now Depakote. I have tried different doses of Prozac, and had a short time where I tried Celexa. I have tried Abilify twice with bad results, and Seroquel. I am sick of side effects, sedation and weight gain. I have also tried Trazodone, Ativan and Klonopin.
