I had severe stomach pains for 2 weeks when I switched to ER. However, I was able to regain control of the epilepsy when the depakote stopped working so well after 15 years.??? I have gained 80 pounds on depakote and ER over the past 20 years but I cannot fairly blame the drug for that. I have also had bouts with depression-like symptoms (never sought help) but again, who is to say that can be blamed on the drug? While I have lost hair, I still have more than many 40-year old men. When first going on Depakote 20 years ago I slept for days it seemed. I have never felt as though I had the same energy level as before starting the medication but it has been so long and I am so thankful that I can lead a normal life without seizures by using the med.

The fact of the matter is when they say you have a chemical imbalance they are telling you the truth. It was caused by bad food . MAYBE things like ASPARTAME known to cause bi polar symptoms. Look on UTube find the documentary Aspartame-Sweet Misery Part 1 of 9 . All these people were diagnosed with bipolar after aspartame came onto the market. Were you ever a gum chewer ? Tab drinker ? artificial flavor eating person ? Ask , what do I eat ? Are you getting the 18 amino acids to your brain ? Or are you eating the toxic poison the FDA says is safe. All of them are only found in Hemp seed powder. Why was Hemp seed the most cultivated seed for thousands of years used to make bread ? What dose some amino acids do for your body ? Well one that has been deemed illegal by the FDA is Histadine. Without histadine your body cant control hormones. It cant even make enzymes to break down proteins in your gut ! It cant even place minerals in the body were they are needed such as the brain. Plus without it your body finds it hard to metabolize fat. So you have a bunch of people running around the World with Asama low sex drive lactose intolerant fat and mentally ill. People need these amino acids and they are not getting them. Why, because the FDA ! You can find hemp seed power in some natural stores and on line . Hemp , Flax oil , good vitamins and a organic diet . A good detox and you will be normal for the first time in your life. Like the Alfa group that makes money off your sickness from from pills that are killing you. I wish you luck .
I'm sorry if I sound mad or mean . I'm so mad that millions of people are suffering . The only Dr, they should see is Dr. Mercola on Utube. or read whats on his website . Please pass all this information along to anyone you meet. Its so important they learn the truth about whats going on. All this sickness can stop only if we educate and have the will to live . This is the USA and we should be free. Why the FDA would make 2 esetule amino acids eligal tells the truth . One of the most important was Tryptophan this was made ilegal the same week prosac came out onto the market. Look it up and learn how the brain needs this so much ! Go to the FDA web if you dont believe me. You can see all the web links if you type in tryptophan prozac FDA scandal.

I appreciate your passion, but please see in my post that the Depakote ER was due to epilepsy and not bipolar. Unfortunately, I am back having seizures and have had 20 or so in the past 2 weeks. Now on Keppra XR and Klonopin in addition to Depakote ER. Cant wait to hear you on that.
