I just had an appointment with my doctor yesterday and forgot to bring it up.

So I don't know what I'm gonna do. I guess I just got to start tapering off the Depakote, stop the Zyprexa, paxil and remeron. and not go to my next shot appointment.

Hopefully my mom will just get over it if I continue to do well off everything, I can't deal with being this weight
Yeah it is the active metabolite and its definitely a gainer though not as bad as zyprexa... It seems you have multiple meds that cause a gain. I'm sorry I know how it is to choose between your mental and physical health.
