I had heart problems after being on Depakote for 3 years and gained a whole lot of heavy weight, but not on purpose at all. Anyway it has been one year and slowly I am acting (so darnd MANIC people just CAN"T put up with me and I CAN"T Stand putting up with me, I am like a run away train-girl) So my last call is at the end of the line and my moods are so f... scary to me and everyone ddarned. Please assist me, I need to take Topamax, and not gain the weight but still take care of my bizarreness living day to day with the Bi-polar Disorder for last 28 years and rolling. Help!!! Please cheer me on please
