Cindylou,
Though I don't find Depakote's side effects pleasant, (minor weight gain, minor hair loss, menstrual problems?), it's a fabulous med for anger and agitation.I usually ditch meds that give me upsetting side effects. But the stability and lessening of my short fuse are nothing to take for granted. So this med, at a low dose, is a keeper! Combining it with Neurontin allows me to keep my dose lower than if I took it alone.
YMMV, but I would not rule this one it. It has some GOOD effects too.
