> My pdoc suggested I try Depakote, but the insert from the sample package she gave me scared the heck out of me, especially the possible side effect of alopecia (hair loss). She gave it to me to help calm my racing thoughts. Anyone have any experience, know if Depakote works for this? And what are some common side effects? Thanks.
Hi again, Janelle
I used to take Depakote, but I stopped it
because I gained so much weight on it; this
is a very common side effect. So, if you're
worried about weight gain, I'd ask your doctor
about Neurontin or Topomax.Glenn
