Hello
It seems from the history that you are diagnosed with migraine and on treatment with topomac and divaa.
Divaa is sodium valproate basically used for treatment of depression and seizures.
Divaa is known to cause weight gain.
Hence consult your doctor if you are having this side effect for prescription of a alternative drug.

Thank you
