I didn't
but then, I subsequently added Keppra and basically stopped eating,and lost about 15 lbs which I could stand to loose, but it happend so quickly and my eating habits/attitude changed... but even before that, my weight was stable on depakote alone...extra strands of hair fell out, but that has stopped now which coinsides with what pdoc said, it stops after about a year. Oh, and the hair that grew back is curlier. My opinion is if you start Depakote and notice a change in your appetite, contact your doc right away, see if you can manage it...there seems to be a debate about whether or not it is metabolism (so no mater what you do you still gain) or controlable by diet and exercise...a puzzled mouse
