[QUOTE="bran155, post: 181580"] I second MidWestMom's response. My daughter was also on Depakote for a few months, she gained 40 pounds!!! That was about 4 years ago. She has had approximately 4/5 new docs since then and they all agree Depakote is not a good choice for a female because of the risk of ovarian cysts. My daughter has also been on Trileptal with no side effects. She was on that for about 3 years, I didn't see much improvement. Everyone is different though. She just started Lamictal, it will not be at therapeutic levels for another couple of weeks, so at this point I am keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck and welcome. :) [/QUOTE]
