Depakote and weight gain, Help!

Posted by D minor on December 2, 2004, at 22:21:00

Since starting to see my new pdoc back in June or July, who took me off Topamax and recently put me on Depakote, I have gained 12 lbs! I gained 5 within the past month. I just have the constant urge to eat sweets. The Depakote is doing a good job at keeping my moods under control, but man! My weight shows no sign of flatening out.
My pdoc says to eat apples when I get the munchies, and to work out. If that doesn't work he says he may take me off the Depakote. But he really doesn't trust any other mood stabilizer.
What else can I do?
