Well, this lists the side effects of withdrawing from Depakote...

Depakote (Valproic Acid) Withdrawal Symptoms + How Long They Last

It does say it can cause seizures in those with epilepsy if stopped without tapering right.

I guess a med that prevents seizures, makes sense that when that protection goes you might be more prone.

Does seem odd if you don't have a history of seizures though. Some other psych meds can increase the risk of seizures though, so it could be a combination of withdrawal & another med.

I would say it is worth follow up with your doctor soon though... you shouldn't be getting seizures.
