I have been on Depakote for 22 days now, and just recently took a Suboxane, I just didn't know if there were and serious side effects I should be aware of? I appreciate any answers that you can throw at me... Thank you.
Is it ok to take Depakote and Suboxane at the same time, or is there side effects I should be know?

Hello ks222,
Interactions between your selected drugs
buprenorphine ↔ divalproex sodium
Applies to: Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone), Depakote (divalproex sodium)
Using buprenorphine together with divalproex sodium may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience some impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications.
