HI Trish,
You were the first person to alert me to Depakote's risk of PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). I told my doctor my concern (isn't it great that WE have to tell our doctors about potential side effects). He managed to rouse up some stats re: this. The # of woman on Depakote (including those who take it for seizure disorder) who are likely to get it is something like 30% and that's a conservative number.

Needless to say I stopped Depakote almost two weeks ago? I added Lamictal and may add either Lithium or Trileptal. AND by the way, I've heard good things about Trileptal - a low side effect profile. I would definitely give this one a go. Maybe this is a good alternative for you.
good luck.
