Hi Bettydidnt! I know Depakote can make a person very hungry as well.
I tried it for a week, and gained 5 lbs.! But everyone's chemistry is different. I'm on Topamax now. It's about the only one I can take, but it also has it's share of side effects like tingling hands and feet and possible kidney stones if you don't drink enough water. The good thing is that is helps decrease your appetite until you get used to the dosage, then you need to increase it again which is where I'm at right now. My brother had to stop Topamax, though, it may have caused him to have a kidney stone!
