I take depakote twice daily. Newly diagnosed so don't know how well this med helps others. I use a simple savings card which is a free prescription saving card u can just google it and sign up. U don't even have to wait for card in mail just show pharmacy a pic. 60 tabs of depakote is only 22.00 at Walmart. (I have no other insurance just simple savings card). It also drops my other med 23.00 down to 7.50. It covers tons of medications and is the best free savings card I have found yet. It's worth a try. Hope this is helpful.
