I have been on a 1000mg of Depakote for over fourteen years,in the last month i have become severely ill with feelings of electricity going thru my brain,vertigo,nausea and fainting spells. I have been communicating with my Doctor and he said stop all Depakote immediately. As a result of it i feel like a new person.Always pays to do your own research and listen to body symptoms.I saved my own life. Andrew.

Did you happen to have withdrawals like spams?

What are some of the withdrawal symptoms that you had? Did you have spams?

my BF has been on various antidepressants for 15 yrs and just getting worse and worse. i put him on niacin, the flushing kind- the does varies depending on whatever works for you. it took him 2 months to gradually get off the drugs. now he has been totally off them for 2 months. his chronic migraines are gone, his chronic muscle pain also, his moods are better, he is much happier.
don't let the doctor up your child's dose. kids should not be on drugs. try whole organic foods and niacin

This is what I've been looking for- I've been on Depakote for four months, and I've developed the same electricity in the brain you speak of, except when I was off of it for a week- ten days, the electricity in the temple eye are got worse, and I got back pains- upper middle aches at first, going to my lower back. When I got back on it stopped, but the electricity discomfort came back slowly. What the F... do I do. Going to the doctor soon to find out. I don't like testing these drugs out. The first one they had me on was Lexapro. That was a dizzy sick mess, and It take more than one dose for it to find the trash.
