Mr. Scott
I gained about 20 lbs on 500mg/day. It didn't keep on going up though. When I stopped it the weight went slowly back down about 20 lbs. I have read in some Neurology journal a few months ago that mentioned Depakote causing a "metabolic syndrome" of weight gain-cognitive slowing, etc. I wonder if you got a little T4 added to it if that would counter it and reduce cycling further??
