bipolar disorde
"I have been on generic Depakote for 12 years.  Prior to it, I took lithium for 28 years.   On Depakote, I lost 30 pounds; and did not have hair loss.  I do get tired in the afternoon and take a nap.  I feel the medication helps me live a good life.  I believe I would be dead without medication that keeps me from being manic."
