Side effects for women on Depakote

Medication 💊 Anticonvulsants
1

I was dx’d last year with Premature Menopause which brought on migraines and then was dx’s with MAV. I was started on hormones and Depakote. Now I have developed polycystic ovaries. I have read that this can be a side effect of Depakote.
Has anyone else had this?
Will it go away when I stop taking Depakote?
What is the correct way to wean off the Depakote?

Thanks in advance.

I copied this off of the website: Crazy Meds:

How to Stop Taking Depakote: Your doctor should be recommending that you reduce your dosage by however much you increased it (keep good records about that!) a day every two to three days at the quickest, based on the 9-16 hour half-life.
