I don't know about the depakote, but I can give you an important piece of advice about topamax. I myself take it, and it took me much longer to reach the 200mg level. I ended up cuting my 25mg tablets into halves or sometimes quarters depending on the severity of the side effects I was having at the time. This is something you might bring up to your doctor. Doing this lessened my side effects, and I was able to reach the dosage that my doctor wanted me to be on.
I also am a shorty (5'1") I worry about weight gain and have only been able to lose weight when I stop taking my meds (I'm bipolar also). I know that one of the WORST things for me to do is stop taking my meds, but that is a difficult thing to do when I am also recovering from an eating disorder too.
Best of luck.
