In reply to Lithium vs. Depakote and weight gain, posted by AppleG on February 24, 2009, at 22:50:46
I noticed weight gain at the beginning but now I am back to normal. I am 23 Male. Weight at the start of Valproic Acid (Generic Depakote) was around 165 and I got up to 190 within a year and now I am back to 170-175. So the fluctuating was not intense, but it did make me gain weight. I have never tried lithium. I refused to try it.
I take 1000mg of Valproic Acid now. I have been on that dose for over a year. I seem more tired when I am on it.
Do you get tired when you take Depakote/Lithium compared to when you don't?
Thanks ;-)
