Joanne,
Yes, I call it the depakote munchies. I had to lower the depakote and add topamax because I gained too much weight on the depakote even though it did work better in many ways. I take it for anxiety not bp. My son takes it for bp but he hasn't gained any weight from it.
Love,
Karen

The depakote seems me from spiraling out of control but I have the munchies. Is this a common problem?
