I was actually prescribed Depakote for severe migraine headaches (this was back before there were so many treatments for migraines); secondarily, as a mood stabilizer.

The Dep. was helpful as far as a reduction in headaches and did cause my moods to be more stable. I did, however, gain around 35lbs. on it. But I gain weight on every single psych med I've ever been on (except benzos). I started out too thin, and it seems the meds cause my body to overcompensate.


I cannot recall my dose, but I know it was a standard one.
