Hi Juli, I also was taken off depakote once my doctor thought i was near child bearing age. I had gained a lot of weight on it. I was put on Tegretol and began to have a few seizures every few months. My doctor then added Topamax. I have been on Topamx for just over a year now. Within the first few months i didn't lose very much weight. A few pounds. The past 6 months the weight has been "falling" off. I have lost 50 pounds to date. I'm not super skinny. Just getting all that depakote and tegretol weight off. Hope everything works out! Mattie
