> > > Is there a medicine that is like depakote, but it does not make you gain weight. I been off of the Depakote for about 3 weeks now, but I feel terrible. But I do not like the weight gain either. Can anyone advise? I see the doctor at the end of this month.
There is a recent study that found that Omega 3 fatty acids can be effective mood stabilizers. The easiest source of omega3s is flax seed oil. The recommended dose is 2 tablespoons per day. If you want more info, I can cite the study. Ken
