    Comment from: Spacedoubt, 7-12 Female on Treatment for 6 months - 1 year (Caregiver)

    My daughter has simple partial, complex partial, and generalized tonic clonic seizures. Depakote controls her GTCs pretty well. The things is, she is so exhausted that, even after 10 hours of sleep the night before, school sends her home. She also vomits every day after taking it! I am very concerned about damage it might be doing. Her doctor thinks I'm exagerating. It doesn't control her SPs and CPs completely. Her seizures start in her occipital lobe. We are only taking it because she's allergic to everything else we've tried. I'm so frustrated. She took it as a small child, so her time on it is more like 3 and a half years or so, but this time it's 6 months, maybe. Published: October 12, 2008 ::

    Used for various kinds of seizures in my 3 yr old. Only effective med after trying Trileptal, Keppra and Topamax. A pain to open each cap and administer with applesauce so ease of use was docked 2 stars for that! Published: June 24, 2008 ::

    I was given depakote to erase the crazed mood swings that ruined my ever day life. It took a few weeks for it to kick in, but once it did it improved my life so much. I was able to function properly and go through the whole day without problems. Unfortunantly. You have to keep taking the medicine. My life has been going back to the way it was since my mother stopped helping me get the meds I need. Published: June 12, 2009 ::
