Major tremors on Lithium and some weight gain on Depakote, I haven't been able to get past 500mg per day without getting really sick and I have gained weight much faster. I also take Seroquel so the weight gain could be from that so I can't really blame depakote. I have not lost my hair as has happened to some people on depakote. I am having abdominal pain from it. (I think) I am not sure if I am stable on it because I haven't had a long enough period of stability to say for sure.
