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.  |
Thank you so much loial. I think I misunderstood the word seizure, now that I've read your link I think mine more like tremors. Unless epilepsy is genetic? Because my dad used to have it. I am still confused and cannot focus well. It was a sudden off because the pharmacy was changing their distributor and they needed time to get the depakote. It is here now tonight thankfully so I'll be taking it normally again
