In reply to Experiences on Depakote?, posted by katia on July 17, 2003, at 23:58:47
HI,
I've not been on Depakote but have always been on lithium. When I wanted to switch to Depakote to try something different, my psychiatrist always avised against it mainly because it can cause liver problems. I know it can have side effects like weight gain and hair loss. Sometimes side effects like that only add to anxiety and stuff like that. It's hard to find the right med but I wish you the best.
