Depakote (divalproex sodium) "Took this as preventative for Migraines. I did work, but my ears started plugging up like they did using Topamax, which I lost 30 % hearing, so I quit in fear of losing anymore hearing."

"Has no effect on my migraines whatsoever. In fact they are more intense and make me more sick to my stomach. I suffer from diarrhea almost every night. I am basically bedridden."
