Anyone currently on Depakote and losing weight?

Hi everyone,

First of all I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Eleanor and I started using Myfitnesspal about 2 months ago consistently. I'm taking Depakote for Bipolar 1 disorder and while I am losing weight (12.2lbs) and doing Herbalife, it's been extremely hard. There are weeks when I don't lose any weight at all, and when I do, it's only 2lbs a week.

Any tips from people who are currently taking this medication and successful? I need some light and hope in my life as this has been a huge struggle for me.

Thank you.

    I am not on Depakote but my mother needed it for her Bipolar. She had a struggle to lose weight (but she loved food a lot). It's not impossible though.


    2 pounds a week is A LOT by the way :) Just keep chugging and don't give up.
