Has anyone suggested changing to something besides the Depakote? It causes drowsiness and can cause chills.

Many here use amitriptyline for PCS head aches. A dose of 10 to 25 mgs has shown to be helpful.

Have you tried anything to see if your head aches are upper neck related? The muscles that connect between the cervical vertebra and the skull, especially behind the ears, can spasm and cause head aches.

Many of us wear sun glasses and even hats to lessen the impact of bright lights.

Have you tried a combination of Tylenol and aspirin at max doses of each to help with the head aches. Depakote is a very strong med for just head aches.
