Depakote has a half life of 9 - 16 hours.
This means that every 9 to 16 hours, half of the previous amount of Depakote in the body is removed. It usually takes around 5.5 half lives for a drug to get out of your system.
As a guide, after 3 to 4 days Depakote should be out of your system. (5.5X16=88 hours or approximately 3 to 4 days)
It is also dependent of other factors such as age, state of health, weight etc.
Do you onow how long it takes to reach peak levels in your system? How many days it takes? I have read it takes 3 days is this true?
