"I had a grand mal seizure in 2014 and was placed on Depakote 2/500 mg twice daily. I haven't had a seizure since. Spoke with my neurologist recently about my left hand shaking a lot. She wants to check the level of the Depakote in my bloodstream because that could be the cause of the shaking."

"Using Depakote ER for my autistic son's tonic clonic, atonic and myoclonic seizures. It has reduced seizures, but is intermittently elevating ammonia. A constant battle. It's a shame the drug manufacturers can't fix this because Depakote induced hyperammonia causes many people to discontinue this otherwise very effective seizure drug."
