Depakote & weight

Thu, 02/26/2015 - 10:13

 Prior to starting this newly prescribed Depakote. I had lost 30 pounds and I still need to loose another 10.

After being on Depakote I noticed no matter how hard I try to get this 10 pounds off I can't, and now I have began gaining!

Even while I am on a diet and I am eating good nutrious meals and counting calories etc.

Can anyone tell me how soon after taking depakote did you notice a change in your weight?

Usually when I am faithfully on a diet I loose.
