Epilepsy
"Taking Depakote for grand mal seizures since I was 12. I&#039;m 28 it has always worked unless I don&#039;t take it. It thinned out my hair, made me gain 15 lbs and makes me really tired.  I take 1000 mg a day. It is very toxic for your liver, you really should not drink on it! Working out helps with battling the tiredness. Hoping to switch to Lamictal again. I hate the side effects but it works great for grand mal seizures!"
