I tried both topomax and depakote together and still lost weight. However, when I got to a high dose of topomax 300 mg and 1000 mg of depakote, the cognitive side effects were really bad. Even after reducing the depakote to 500mg a day, the cognitive side effects were bad. I found that depakote just worked better for me. Topomax really screwed up my affect. I had a very flat affect and had trouble expressing my thoughts and feelings. The weight issue however was great. I just didn't have a taste for food. Mostly I wanted fruits and yogurt. Anything else sounded horrible.
