> We as posters should not give med advise to others. Just our own experiences using them. Phillipa
Friends,
Phillipa has posted her concern here that members posting advice about drugs could constitute {giving medical advice} to others. And she has a valid point in that respect. The question could become as to what is advice or not.
Now posting facts could be helpful and posting facts is not the same as giving medical advice. Facts are facts, and can be used to make a more informed decision as to take these drugs or not.
The issue at hand here is the drug called Depakote which is valproic acid. The drug can induce death via many ways by attacking the liver, pancreas, blood and other systems. These each could be low, but accumulating all the different ways that the drug could kill you, could add up to a different understanding of how death could come from taking this drug. As to how one could in some way head off death by taking tests of their blood and liver function, don't forget that death could be sudden and outside the hospital setting where tests could be done.
Here we can see statistics where sudden death attributed to Depakote has been recorded. What I am posting here is not advice, but facts. Facts that could mark the difference between you being a live person or a corpse.
