Depakote fatigue and hunger

My doctor recently raised my Depakote dose from 1000mg to 1500mg daily and ever since my motivation has been so bad.
It was awful before but now all I want to do is lay down on the couch and vegetate.
I manage to take care of my dad and pets but it’s really been hard.
Also my hunger has increased three fold.
I’m craving junk food and have gained 10 pounds since the increase one month ago.
Going to ask my doctor next week if I could go back down to my usual dose.
But of course it’s up to her

Yeah thats no good wanting to do nothing but lay on sofa but at least your managing to do the important stuff. Definitely talk to your dr asap. Weight gain sucks
