Hi Elaine,

After you see the Epileptologist ask if a DNA test can be done. Take my word it's the easiest way to find the right seizure med with the least side
effects. I tried over 10 different seizure meds and not a single one stopped my seizures, in some cases the drug increased the seizures depending on what it was.
If I may ask are you taking anything besides the Depakote. I know when I was on it my Dr. at the time had me taking mysoline (primidone) which is a very old seizure med. I have found that the older seizure meds work better for me than the newer ones other than vimpat.

I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
