Depakote is still weirding me out. I've been having stomach problems (mainly serious heartburn); headaches - it's especially fun when it feels like I'm being stabbed in the eyes; tremor (kind of like the Albuterol jitters); tiredness; foot and leg cramps; and of course, the previously mentioned hair loss.


I just feel funky and grumpy and weird. And I wish that I didn't feel this way. :-/


Although, I do have a semi-happy thought, courtesy of Lewis Black:
"After 9/11, I'd think that gay marriage is on page six of things to be worried about, right beneath 'Are we eating too much garlic as an American people?'"

Same here - I always look forward to "Back In Black" on The Daily Show, just so I can get my Lewis Black fix! ;)

I'm going back in about 2 weeks ... and I had Depakote levels done this week, so I'll see what becomes of that.

In the meantime, I'm thinking that I may try to ride this out, since it's only 2 weeks ... but if it gets worse, I will call the doctor and let him know.

I hate it, too - but, it is a necessary evil.

And thank you. I appreciate that. :-)

Ah I've been on Depakote for almost three years now. It gets better; at least it did for me. For awhile I was all kindsa fucked up, it made me lose my mind when I first started taking it, and I had the hair loss too. Now the only side-effect I have is bad night vision. So maybe it'll get better for you.
Hang in there. I've found that it's worth it.

Oooh..Depakote did nasty things to my head/body. Be careful with that, hon.
