Thank you for sharing your experience. And good to read your are doing well. Can you please share you experience on-
What was the dose of Depakote when you weaned off over 6 months? Was it ER/DM? Was it lesser than 500 mg? I am particularly looking for weaning off with this medicine and with what dosage?
What is the milder med now?
PS: I will be of course working with my Dr. but so far, I have found that once when Dr. starts on this med, they don't have enough information on the weaning process.
Hello,
My son is on Depakote, has been for 14 years. It works for him (knock on wood) but we are worried about the long term effects. If it hadn't been for the tremors do you think you would have stayed with that drug.
Is there anyone out there who has been on Depakote for a long time?
thanks!
Trish
