> I have experienced a significant weight gain on depakote, also. I am starting to wean myself off of it. I take 500 mg a day and I am cutting it in half to 25o mg a day. I am experiencing extreme headacheds and little tremors. Has anyone else withdrawn from Depakote and what where your symtoms?
Hope you feel better soon.
My withdraw from Depakote was "cold turkey". I was in the hospital to undergo a drug trial for rapid cycling and mixed states. During the "wash out" period, I was diagnosed with Pseudo-Siezures. These were full-body siezures that were not caused by having epilepsy. 2mgs im. of Adavan was helpful in relieving the extreme muscle tension and mixed-state pain.
