> I was reading about Depakote weight gain on Dr. Phelp's site (psycheducation.org) and he mentioned something about a weight-gain "kickin" that happens around the 750mg dose level. Mine kicked-in at 500mg. It does do wonders for anger, doesn't it? I've been off it for about ten days thus far (on Trileptal), and no testiness yet, I'll know soon enough if I need to start taking it again. I know what you mean about living in DUHSVILLE with the stuff. But you said Teg was worse. Hmmm, the lesser of two evils.....

I think Depakote for me gives a craving for sweet things--something previously I could take or leave so if I could stop buying cheescakes it would help.

I noticed when I just took Neurontin my eye-lids got kinda puffy so maybe a water retention thing.
Anger is reduced but when I first started Depakote it was horrible-maybe an ajustment.
By the way I got the tegretol off a patient I know (classic bipolar 1 )I was very careful did research and was desperate..this was the quickest way to find the right/wrong med...I'm in uk.

thanks Mitch~babe : )
