"i am an active person with a healthy, gluten/dairy-free diet and within the first 2 months i gained nearly 40 pounds. i was crying all of the time, fatigued, and then my hair started falling out. it also lead to a suicide attempt.

depakote may work very well for some, but for me it was worse than disease. aother downside was the cost. with insurance it was nearly 150.00 dollars a month."
