Wowza.Most of this sounds VERY familliar to how my side effects with Depakote have been. I'm on 750 mg, and have the following effects:

-weight gain in the stomach, looks like horrible bloat but it makes my clothes not fit so it's really making me self-conscious.
-I get the SAME loss for words and blanking out; I went to open the back door and called it a closet, and this happens a lot. It drives me crazy as I'm usually very articulate and a quick thinker. Depakote gives me "Teh dumbs" as I callit. ;)
-tremors in my hands that are moderate-severe depending on the time of day etc. They get worse right before I'm due for a doseage.
-My partner says I twitch in my sleep, especially right when I'm falling asleep.
-My left eyelid was twitching for a while one day,then it never came back.
-My hair loss is a little more than usual, but nothing severe. My hair's thinner but not so anyone else would notice.

I'm also on 50 mg Seroquel and 100 mg Immipramine,but the ones above are for Depakote, I researched it.

As for your eyes shaking from one side to the other,I would see your doctor about that. Not to scare you, but I read that that is one you need to have checked out.
