Hello Melina and welcome to NeuroTalk.

My DH and I both take Epilum (Sodium valproate) for nerve pain in different areas, but I didn't think it was available in tablet form in the USA. I know that there is however, an Epilum syrup sold as Depakene.

When I started I took one tablet twice daily, then increased to 2 twice daily. Unfortunately I wasn't able to tolerate the 400mgs during the day as I couldn't stay awake. Now I take 200mgs in the mornings and 400 mgs at night.

Good luck with the medication. My husband and I have both had relief ourselves.
