I am currently taking 1500mg of Sodium Valproate(Depakote) for Bipolar I in addition to Lexapro and Trazodone(for sleep). I am switching to another mood stabilizer(Topamax) tomorrow due to signifigant weight gain. Keep the weight gain in mind. It is definitely a major side effect and very common. A lot of people who take this also have problems with their hair thinning. I had a little bit, but nothing of too much concern since I have thick hair already. Also, The "ER" or extended release seems to have less side effects than the "SR" sustained released formula.
