Hey job, I took depakote for a long time and it helped me but we switched to trileptal due to the weight gain from depakote. I took topomax for awhile but don’t remember anything about it

Lithium I took for awhile but my lithium levels went well above 4.3 (I think it was maybe even up to 4.7) and I had severe toxicity that landed me in the ICU for a week with seizures and in kidney failure, had to have dialysis and was unconscious most of the time there , so I won’t touch that again. Though I know it can be great for some people. Too much medical trauma from that for me
