> You never mentioned what your Depakote dosage is. I gained about an average of 5 lbs above my "typical" weight when I am on it. At dosages less than 500mg/day (ok I know that's not much). I only saw significant weight gain (10-20lbs) kick in at higher doses (at 500mg). 250mg was rather helpful. Perhaps you can talk to your pdoc about a careful decrease?
>
I'm on 600mg/daily- fortunately the doc didn't increase it last visit...seems to work nice with 900mg Neurontin.
I think if I lowered it my impulsiveness would return.I feel slowed down lost many IQ points but better than irritation.
My pdoc only dispenses lithium to patients so he has arranged for me to see some professor...
Posted more than you needed to know : )
