"i&#039;ve been on depakote for almost a year now. i also take paxil and wellbutrin. i gained around 10lbs right from the start. my weight has seemed to have stayed steady the last few months. it&#039;s extremely hard to lose it. i have been through a lot of different medications to try and treat bipolar disorder. even with the medicines i&#039;m on, i&#039;m still depressed and like i don&#039;t matter. i&#039;m very sleepy and can lay down and take a nap at any time. i started taking b complex because i stay so sleepy. my new concern is memory. i can&#039;t think of words and dates or names like movie stars very fast and it concerns me.
