I'm going through this exact same situation. Although with me I've been on Bipolar meds (Depakote, Lamictal, and Risperdol) for about 3 months. I have gained 40 or so pounds and I am NOT happy with that. My appetite has increased so much and it's hard to stop eating because I'm never full. ): I am slowly coming off my Depakote now, so I'm hoping that will help some. I was on 1,500mg and now I'm at 500mg and I've noticed a bit of a difference. I hope that I can lose the weight I gained from Depakote. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one experiencing this terrible weight gain. Best wishes!
