Bipolar Disorde
"My daughter is 12 years old and her Depakote was recently increased to 1,000 mg a day. Immediately I saw some harsh side effects. To begin with she has a very petite frame and dropped 9 pounds and now weighs 62 pounds. My daughter started vomiting with the high dose. She hasn&#039;t slept a normal nights sleep in a long time. She never wants to eat which has caused her dramatic weight loss. She experiences nausea, vomiting, irritability, and many more side effects. Depakote may be a life saver for some but this medication isn&#039;t for everyone."
