Do you have a seizure disorder? Are you able to have children b/c of it?
> Hi Katia, I did get it from Depakote, and I knew 2 other people who did also. It may not happen to every woman though, please don't be alarmed. I know a lot of peole who do just fine on it~~in other words do not develop PCOS. My doctor told me that polycystic ovaries are more common in those with seizure disorders.
> There is a GREAT book entitled "PCOS - The Hidden Epidemic" by Dr. Samuel S. Thatcher, you may want to check out.
> As far as onset goes, I was on Depakote for about 2 months and my menses have been off ever since.
> Hope this helped.
