Is Anyone Else On Name Brand Depakote? Can You Still Get It? What Did Your Neurologist Change You To?

Mancos, CO

I have been on Depakote name brand for 25yrs now. And suddenly we just can’t get it anymore. I tried generic but that didn’t work went from 3yr no seizures to 3 seizures per day.

If the generic depakote is not working very well, it might be time to talk to your doctor about changing medication. I stopped taking it because of the liver damage the drug can do to your liver and other side effects.
