[QUOTE=Porkette;486063]Hi Brian,
I also took Depakote and that was one of the best meds to control my seizures (sz.) but it lowered my platlet level so low that the Dr. thought I was bleeding enternally. check your body over and if you see bruises on you skin get a complete blood count done it could be that your platlet level is low from you med and that's what is causing the problem.

Interesting Sue. Depakote worked great for me for 2-3 years and then I suddenly had to be pulled off and put onto it's opposite (phenobarbital) due to extremely low WBC levels. My neurologist, at that time, said that it was very uncommon, but I've met a few others who've had the same thing occur.
