Hey all --
I've been on Depakote for about 2 months now. Things are going well as far as effectiveness, etc.
I'm also on Lexapro, 10 mgs every day (actually sometimes I just take it every other day -- every day causes lethargy for me. I told my doctor, he didn't mind).
So . . I lost 5 pounds the first month, as I was exercising and doing well and happy. But now, don't know if it's winter coming on or what, but I'm starting to feel hungry and tired more. I just want to lay in bed and be sad and eat.
Some of this could related to family-related stress (my partner needs a good job), and the recent death of a good friend.
What could I do to minimize Depakote's part in all this? Is it the kind of med where, once you eat something sweet, you just have to have the whole box?
