Tracyb,
hi,
yeah, when I was on depakote I gained alot (about 30 lbs) and about 2 years ago the doctor had me on topamax and zonegrane and I lost alot of weight..... I was looking like a walking skeleton.
I hope this helps, if you have any questions just ask.....

Weight Loss
My partner has been on epanutin for 9 years. He lost about 15 lbs when he started on the drug and now, despite a very healthy appetite his weight won't go above 10 stones (140lbs)!
