What are your thoughts?

ive been on depakote for about 6 months now and i was TERRIFIED of the side effects. Honestly though, i didnt have a single one. The weight gain will come from having a much bigger appetite...if you are just moderate in what you eat and try to work out, youll be fine.
I dont know much about Lithium but i heard it makes you like a walking zombie.

Dedos ask why the lithium...Bi-polar by chance??

That makes me feel better... I have also read about that. Thanks

sure thing! depakote can be scary...i was terrifed. so i understand. good luck!
