Thank you for that info. I'm going to share this with my doctor. In my posts I'm referring to my psych doc as the one who gave me the depakote, along with lithium, escitalopram and propranolol.
My regular doc who I went to for other reason was concerned about my enormous weight gain.
Has anyone taken Topamax to replace it? If the psych doc will give it to me along with the other med that I forgot the name of is known to help with weight loss.
