valproic acid for Seizures: Very effective medication while I was on it, I did switch to Keppra though due to some side effects. It made my hands shaky and weak.

Depakene (valproic acid) for Seizure Prevention: The side effects of this drug were so harsh I didn't stick around for its alleged benefits, i.e. seizure prevention.

valproic acid for Bipolar Disorder: Was prescribed this to stabilize mood swings. Tended toward depressive episodes while on this medication with severe side effects such as feeling faint when walking, going up stairs etc, unable to sleep, nausea, foggy mind, unable to think of words, constantly dropping things, heart palpitations, very dry eyes and anxiety.

valproic acid for Seizure Prevention: I have been on Depakote ER for 6 years now and although it has not controlled my seizures it has definitly decreased them.
