Will my prescription for modafinil help me lose the 15lbs i put on depakote?

Maybe: Modafinil is used for conditions like narcolepsy and certain kinds of sleep apnea, although an off label use is for weight loss. Best to discuss this with your physician and follow a good eating plan and exercise also to reduce weight. Hope this helps.
