| Need input on Depakote
Friends,
I haven't posted here in a while. I was wondering if anyone had any info on Depakote. (not sure if I am spelling it correctly). My daughter was on Lithium and was gaining a lot of water weight and felt puffy all of the time. I could see it also. She recently had an accident and was put on vicodin. Had trouble getting off of it and went to methadone. It seems the combination is making her very tired all of the time. Her methadone is a low dose.
She had a pdoc spp. yesterday and the doc said lithium does not make you gain weight. I disagree with that. What are your thoughts? Well, with a little arguing the doc said she could switch to depakote. She said she doesn't normally use that for bi polar. What are your thoughts?
Any thoughts on this would be helpful.
Thanks............................................ ....Lo
