User Reviews for Stavzor oral

My husband is a new wonderful person with taking this drug. He has been taking stavzor for 3 years and it has been our wonder drug. No side effets and nothing but happiness in our home now..

This medication has been a miracle for my adult son. He started taking Stavzor 4 weeks ago. His dose is up to 2000mg and he has had no side effects. It is working extremely well on his manic symptoms.

Iv'e taken every bi-polar med out there; almost ran out of options until stavzor.1000mg and my anger has subsided quite a bit.I'm much more mellow,the only thing is sleeping is difficult.Weight gain too.Remember though the benifits out weigh the side effects.

I was put on this medication for chronic migraines after being taken off Topamax, which was very effective but caused me severe joint pain. I take 250-500 mg a day, depending on how my symptoms have been, and that seems to be a good balance. I am not migraine-free like I was while on the Topamax, but it is quite effective. It has not caused any side effects, not even nausea, which I tend to get very easily on oral medications.

Easy to swallow compared to Depakote.

weight gain!!!!! but this med keeps my anger out of sight. no altercations in over a year

I used to take two 500mg Depakote but they were like horse pills - difficult to swallow and sometimes gag. I gained weight on Depakote. Then the pharmacy or insurance company switched it to generic - they were horrible - smelled nasty. The doctor changed it to stavzor and these smaller gelcaps are much easier to swallow - this is a big improvement - no more gagging.

At first in the mornings my speach was slered and had that drug hangover feeling, after a few hours it was gone. Im up to 1000mg so far so good its working for me for the past 4mos. the downside, i am gaining weight, i feel "poofy" since i been on the meds and my period is almost non exsistant. anyone else feeling the same as well?

Hope this helps. I am newly diagnosed and have only been on Stavzor for a little over two weeks. It has considerably improved my mood! Some light side effects I have gotten are; diahrea, feeling drugged at a couple of intervals, restless sleeping, nausea and a missed period. But please note, the effects listed have been light. Overall, so far, the benefits outweigh the risks but always be very aware of what you're body is telling you.

Does anyone know if weight gain is less on stavzor than depokote is there an er version out there Im only on 500mgs and have gained 5 or 6lbs very distressing I would care if i took depokote er if pill is bigger would gladly taki it if it meant less weight gain

I like this med. it helps me to stay calm, i do no have the moodswings i use to. i do have a slight rash of unknown origan, also i get bad indigestion.

my 5 year old son uses this and its very nice the only problem i have is the crazy side effects. it makes him a totally different person.
