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!

I just saw my neurologist this past week and he was going to place me on this med but decided Topomac(sp) would be better due to other medications I take.
I'm glad to hear how successful this medication had been for you! Very encouraging!!
