Depakote successes with low side f/x? (ER better?)

Posted by cache-monkey on March 25, 2005, at 14:10:15

So, after a failed trial of Lithium (intolerable urinary side-effects), my pdoc's put me on Depakote. I'm well aware of the most reported troublesome side effects: hair loss, weight gain, libido decrease.
Im wondering, though: Has anyone out there has had success on Depakote (defined as achieving an acceptable level of stability) and _minimal_ side effects?
Also, is the ER version is any better than the standard (CR) version?
Thanks!
