Tepiaca,

Yes, unfortunately I did have some unwanted weight gain on this combination, 15lbs or so. But I also had some other really bizarre medical things going on at the time that were not related to the meds, so cause and effect were somewhat blurred. I stopped it because...well...umm...that's also a little blurry...I guess you could say I'm a classic bipolar sometimess and I had convinced myself that I no longer needed any meds! Not a very good reason, I'm still learning =?

P.S. Did your doc give you the usual blood work that goes along with monitoring the valproic acid? It helped me find a dose that was optimal and it did effect my liver, so it's a good idea to monitor. I think most docs do a valproic acid levels check, a liver panel, and a cbc after a week or two.
