I hope you find good advice at the doctor this time! How did they check cognitive function? All they ever do for my sons check up is check muscle strength, look at his eye movement and look at how his hands tremor. I even have to beg for a blood test since I know he forgets some of his doses I want to see valproic acid level. I hope you will have them check vitamin D and B levels. His pediatric Neuro gave him L-Carnitine supplement since dep is hard in liver… he wouldn’t take it. 🤦‍♀️ best of luck, plz let me know how it goes

Thanks, yes they did all those tests as well as asked him silly questions. That's one of the reasons they told him to take both 500mg at night because he was having those tremors. My son has a friend that he went to school with that also has epilepsy. She was taken off Depakote just recently due to liver damage. So of course that is now another concern. UGH!
