Depakote put 35lbs on me in 8wks.

Vimpat has been okay. I was at 200, then 300, 400....Now back on 300. I like this dose best....when you bring side effects into play and quality of life, etc.

I would talk to my neurologist. See how closely Vimpat is related to your weight gain. Fatigue is normal to me as well. But your fatigue may be somewhat related to your weight gain. Overall I say talk to your neurologist, discuss it and see what the options are.
