In reply to Depakote ER, posted by ShirlAnne on July 8, 2001, at 21:41:25
To paraphrase my pdoc, when I asked him recently if I should consider taking ER (extended release), 'damn those drug companies! Always dreaming up new ways to make more money. Depakote has a sustained release character in the brain already.' I have taken the enteric coated (so dissolves past the stomach) in 6 months or so, no weight gain, some additional hairs lost, and it has helped even my moods out. The highs aren't so high. I am not well, but I am not in the closet or raiding the bank either. Dr Bobs tips are very good.
