[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 333913, member: 1963"] Depakote can cause weight gain and tremors, as can the Risperdal. That said, it's a very common combination for BiPolar (BP) treatment and many have great results with it. Do remember that Depakote is dosed to effective blood level. This means that he will have blood drawn and his drug levels measured. His dosage will be calculated based on how much he needs to reach therapeutic levels. Also, Depakote requires that periodic labs for liver function be drawn as in rare cases, Depakote can be hard on the liver [/QUOTE]
