I started depakoteER 500mg a couple months ago. My doc never mentioned anything about a rash, but I did read it as a possible precaution. After a couple days I did notice that my back was itching. Not a rash, but just somewhat itchy. It went away in a day or two. Also noticed moon shaped redness on top of my cheeks under the bags of the eyes in the morning. That too went away. Definitely something to tell the doc though. I think these rash things can pop up any time, even months into treatment, so I'm always keeping an eye out. My doc wants me higher than 500mg, but I refuse.
