gees. I feel kind of bad. The only complaint I had was the weight gain and with the Carnitor my Dr gave with it that wasn't as much of an issue (I was already over weight and trying to lose weight..) The only problem I had on Depakote was trying to make a firm decission within a reasonable time period. Mood swings went away. But left behind almost apathy?? Not happy, not sad.. Just here and doing what I needed to do. So I asked to be taken off. Never lost my hair, weight gain went away after coming off. Supposedly after a year on it the weight gain was supposed to start going away anyway, but I don't know. I don't think I made it a year..
