"I have been taking medication for the past 17 years for a seizure disorder. I must say the medication seems to work great, very minimal episodes. The only side effect I had has been severe hair loss."

"I was on Depakote sprinkle for many years and no problem (other than having to take way more than adult ones). Now on adult Depakote, I have seizures in my sleep, and my blood work is normal."
