It is probably the Depakote, it made me hungry, tired and gain weight. I was so happy when my pdoc switched me to Lamictal, never caused me to gain weight, and plus I lost the Depakote weight
Elavil, that may or may not do this, I recall my brother was on Elavil years ago, he didn't seem to gain weight from it, but everyone is different.
I do know about the Depakote, my nephew had to be put on high doses, he got fat and just slept constantly, it was sad to see this kid so shot down, he was and now is thin again, not thin but perfect build, and tall.
His pdoc had switched his meds too after awhile.

Just my 2 cents.
Wish Cam would drop by here again.
