The bottom line is that with the current dose of Depakote (1500mg/day) almost all of my SFN is gone (burning, stinging, stabbing, itching: scalp, lips, face, tongue, neck, arms, hands, fingers, palms, even my ears and eyes). And it is hoped that the Myoclonic seizures I was experiencing may stop with the Depakote.
Between the neuropathies, the seizures, and the severe sciatica which required back surgery (and my back is fine, the sciatica is GONE), I have had a really difficult year.
Now I'm back on my feet, and perhaps more stable than ever. Here's to 2017!

that is amazing. My neurologist recommended this as a daily preventative for migraine but said it wouldn't help with my full body sfn. I was afraid to try it do to side effects and weight gain. How soon did you notice an improvement?
