If this is temporary when does your appetite increase and the dreaded weight gain start?

Navalpro is the same as Valproate. I have no appetite and managing to get very little food in once a day. Dry mouth and drinking between 6 and 8 litres if water/ day which must be ice cold.
Very strange.

Im not on that one but many others and HAVE extreme thirst and loss of appetite and used to eat like a horse. I struggled to gain weight my whole life but losing my appetite has been very disturbing.
