>I started on 750 mg of Depakote a week ago. Since then I have been experiencing uncontrollable sobbing fits that last from ten to twenty-five minutes, up to six a day. I am completely despondant.
>I also have a ten year history of eating disorders, so hearing that Depakote causes weight gain is extremely alarming to me. I could not tolerate that in this state. Everything I have heard about Depakote so far indicates that it is bad news.
>Does anyone have any good news about this drug? Or should I stop taking it?
> KateKate, my dear, you have both asked and answered your own question. From too much difficult experience with all those "old mood stablizers", I have absolutely NOTHING good to say about any of them!!! All that I can say about Depakote would not be proper or lady-like to mention here.
Mind over Madness,
