hi, yes, I heard from my doctor that Depakote can cause PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) in alot of women who take it.
I would suggest you talk things over with your doctor to find the best alternative for yourself:-)
All the best!
> okay i was wondering if anyone has heard that depakote can cause your overies to stop working? first off let me say that i was on it for bipolar when i was about 15 and i am 17 now i have 6 month old son and i need to go back on my meds. so i am in some deprate talking too. i get so angrey for nothing sometimes and it bothers me so much its never my son but its my boyfriends friends and family i take it out on. so what should i do? take the risk of not being about to have kids ever again or should i take the chanse to lose my skin with another med called tryliptal or something like that liptal or something. i know both are really scarey. it scares me because i am so young and i am in love and i want more children with the guy i am with but if that happenes or if te other happenes i am either dead or no more babies. hmmm i am not sure sometimes it feels like there is nothing left. depakote was the only drug that worked good with me because i was on topamax welbutrin and depakote i was so nice now i am a witch again. the only person i am nice to is my lil boy but i don't know what to do sometimes. i feel like giving up sometimes you know. well can someone write back and say something to make me feel better please. thank you bye trish
