A member asked:
I take lithium, depakote, can any of these cause loss of appetite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Both can increase appetite, especially depakote. To lose appetite due to these medications would be highly unusual. If you are depressed, you can lose appetite due to depression itself.
