Um, I don't recall casting an evaluative judment on divalproex. I simply stated some truths regarding the drug. It is associated with cognitive impiamment. It is hard on the liver and yes some studies do show it has neurotoxic potential.
I don't care how good a drug makes you feel it can still be toxic. I am not telling people not to take a particular drug, but people should be informed about toxiciities.
Sorry that the truth bums you out.
My mom suffered liver damamge from epival use. There are real risks.
I am just saying, why would you want to take epival to prevent alzhemiers plaques when there are other compounds such as omega-3, which likely have the same effect?
