Other things that happened were sinus infections that would go away with antibiotics but come back in a couple weeks, athlete's foot, jock itch, weird flaking dry yet waxy skin in my belly button, right ear and nostril and above my right eyelid, maybe that was fungus too who knows. All this went away when I stopped taking it.

I am imagining your list of side effect spoken out loud on one of those TV commercials for medications -- "in some cases, patients will experience athlete's foot,jock itch,weird flaking dry yet waxy skin in their navel,ears,nostrils or above the eyes, you may feel like you are in a semi-coma and be mistaken for drunk while attempting to walk in a straight line without falling over ... Ask your Doctor about Depakote!" The next ad would be for Weight Watchers or Hair implants.Maxime
