> One thing I find about being depressed, is that I can't stop consoling myself with food. I'll eat anything that doesn't move, almost. I even steal my seven-year old daughter's chocolate, when she's not looking (how's that for desperate?!) Does anyone know of a plan for losing weight quickly, that really works? I'm going on holiday at the end of the month, and presently can't fit into any of my shorts and things. So if I'm depressed now, imagine how I'll feel when the time comes to go on the beach, and I have to wrap myself up in a tent with just my head poking out, so no-one can see me...

I have a friend who gained 80 pounds on depakote and couldn't take it off despite discontinuing the medication. Her PDr then put her on Wellbutrin and she lost all 80 pounds over about 10 months. It did make her paranoia worse, though, so she had to stop taking it.
Good luck
