Well, according to the pharmacist here, Depakote really doesn't do much of anything for depression-he even told me it can be a depressionogenic BUT it does help with anxiety and Bipolar disorders.
BUT, I have heard other people say that Depakote helped their depression so maybe this pharmacist is just confused. LOL
On that mg of Depakote, you shouldn't really see any weight gain. From what I've read, you'll notice an increase in appetite which wil make you eat everything your refridgerator (and your neighbor's) thus causing the weight gain. So you will be able to tell by your appetite if you'll get that effect.
