Whether Deplin,Depokote Or Progesterone Is Responsible For Huge Appetite,weight Gain And Nausea?

I am taking (2) 250 mg Depokote at bedtime, 75mg troque of Progesterone and have recently had the doctor put me on 7.5 mg of Deplin. I became sleeping taking afternoon naps, huge appetite gaining 10 pound and nauseous feeling. I have I am not due to go back to the two doctors that prescribed these until February and really want to start feeling better. Not sure if its the Deplin, Depokote or Progesterone that is causing these symptoms. What would be your thoughts?

Dear User,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

Among the drugs that you are taking most probably depakone is culprit for weight gain and nausea feeling. It is hard to say conclusively as these are the side effect with progesterone also.

I feel that if you split your depakone to 250 mg twice a day rather than using 2 tab at bedtime, can help you. If it is not possible for you than rather than using 2 tab of 250 mg use 1 tab extended release containing 500mg.

If these strategies not helping you than talk to me.
Regards
