I have been taking depakote for 5 years now, does anyone have info on long term effects
Depakote = divalproex sodium: a stable compound made up of sodium valproate & valproic acid in a 1:1 with 0.5 sodium hydroxide.
5 years is a long time to take depakote. Has it helped with ur health?
I was unable to locate a long term human study. A 2 year study was done on men & women taking 50 mg a day. Depakote has been associated with birth defects, females of child bearing age should avoid this drug.
There r some adverse effects caused by Depakote. Chest pain, neck pain, hypertension,anorexia, leg cramps, edema, twitching, abnormal dreams, confusion, insomnia, hallucinations, vertigo, deafness, dry eyes, eye pain, tinnitus, dysmenorrhea, urinary incontinence, flatulence, in-coordination, depression, skin rash, sensitivity to light, & toxic epidermal necrosis. Not to mention bone marrow suppression, irregular periods, anemia & cough.
This drug is extremely hard on the liver.
