i was proscribed it for mood management purposes imlad Send a noteboard - 13/11/2009 05:44:24 PM
And I hated it. I got nasty acid-reflux type sensation in my throat/upper chest within 30 minutes of taking it (my psychiatrist said there was no way that the depakote caused it, but my physician couldn't find any cause for it either; any night I didn't take the depakote I didn't get that symptom).

I also gained like 60 pounds in the first 4 or 5 months I was on it.

I stopped taking it earlier this year, refusing it to my shrinks face.

If so, would s/he recommend it? (And was it for epilepsy, or mood stuff?)
What about other mood stabilizers?

Thanks.
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.
