I am an epileptic. Are my side effects normal?

Question

My side effects include: headache, fatigue, weight gain, abdominal pain, infertility, constipation, nervousness, anxiety, stress, lack of sleep, seizures when I don't sleep, gas, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, no concentration, lack of comprehension, and hair loss. I take valproic acid. (depakote) I almost think that it would be better to have seizures everyday!!!! Help!
