migraine prevention
"I have been taking Depakote ER for approximately 4 weeks now with good results.  Prior to this medication, I was experiencing frequent dull pressure type headaches, some lasting several days, and occasional short duration sharp migraines.  Since using Depakote ER, I have had no migraines and only a couple of very mild and short duration pressure headaches.  

I realize it's only been a short amount of time on this medication, but the relief has been quite noticeable for me.

I have also not experienced any sudden weight gain side effects, however, just prior to starting this medication, I commenced a health eating regimen, which has actually caused me to lose several pounds, and which may be contributing to my weight situation."
