I personally have noticed a slight weight gain from taking 1000mg of Depakote over the past 6 months but nothing drastic. I definetly feel that it relaxes me and stimulates my appetite a little bit so I have to just watch what I eat a bit more. It is very controllable. I use to not really be into eating sugary stuff before on the other meds I have been on (SSRI's and such), but with Depakote I sometimes get cravings that I use to never get (kind of like the munches you get with alcohol). It is not bad at all, but noticeable. I just limit my junk food buying at the store now. Other than this minor side effect, it is a good, effective drug.
