epilepsy
"I was put on Depakote originally to control my seizures.  I loved it.   Then when I found out it also was used as a medicine for bipolar disorder, I was thrilled.  However, then the love affair ended.  My husband and I went to a Reproductive Endocrinologist  and found out that it commonly caused women to have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS.  I now have it, and am taking medicine for diabetes, which PCOS can lead to.  I still wish that I could take it because it really helped with my seizures, and also helped with my bipolar disorder."
