Here's something I found for you:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,140832,00.html

"Depakote is one of the most widely prescribed anti-seizure drugs. In one ongoing study, one in four children born to mothers who took the drug during pregnancy experienced serious adverse events including birth defects and developmental delays. That compared to an adverse event rate of around 10 percent in children exposed in the womb to the antiseizure drug Tegretol and a 1 percent adverse event rate among children exposed to the drug Lamictal"


Although this is good news about Lamictal, I am dubious of the rate reported for Depakote. I can't believe the rate would be elevated to anything near 25%.
