I hope you are both well! But as an NP I urge your son not to start on Vitamin D without his providers approval. Vitamin D is a lipophilic medication that is metabolized by the liver as is Depakote. I do not know his full health history or his blood levels but adding vitamin D may negatively effect is liver as well as change the depakote levels in his body. I know it seems like adding a vitamin “can’t hurt” but in truth many can. Gods luck to you!
