User Reviews for divalproex oral

I have been plagued by headaches all my adult life, over 40 years. Finally, I have been able to stop taking Excedrin 12 a day!! Now I don't wake up with a headache every day, and even if I do, its usually not as bad as before. Divalproex has worked wonders for me!!

I find this very effective to stabilize my moods.

Since I have been on this medication I haven't experienced a seizure. I take it once a day in the evening and sleep well and wake up without any problems.

periods of being tired

i get confused alot more then normal i also take cymbalta 60mg. i did not think i was to take any other pills wondering why my doctor put me on cymbalta

Was prescribed for a 12 year old boy. After two months large iridescent bruises appeared. Took off medication. Started taking Singular 10 mg and headaches have dropped from every day to once a week.

I was prescribed this drug in addition to Buproprion which I have taken for years. My main problem is that I am a vet and suffer from PTSD and I can't get my mind to shut off. This med has slowed down my thought patterns. I can still function, but I don't have massive confusion. I do suffer from short term memory delay which in my case is worth the trade of having "peace" in my head. I also suffer from fibromyalgia. I have not seen much improvement in that area. Over all I am pleased. I do suffer some vision problems but as time goes on they seem to be less. I take it at night so I do sleep. Again, the biggest thing this drug has done for me is slow my racing thoughts down. I feel less impulsive, less edgy and less nervous. I have also been able to decrease my anxiety medication significantly. I do have slight tremors. BUT...For all that is negative, there is much more that is positive.Read More Read Less

The being groggy all day, that's what it's been doing to me. I just started taking it but I take one at night and the one i take in the morning, eat well and it should help. It did me, hope it works for ya.

ok im 14 i took this my last 2 weeks of 8th grade i hated it the pills were big i had bad mood swings i was evry easy to aggrvate and such

i do not like this druge at all,ive been on this med for over 4 years.it has not worked at all sins ive been on it iam on medicaid and they only pay for what they whant to pay for.they will not help at al with my problem..i wood not give a recomandaton to this drug too my worst enemy..

Too many bad side effects

it works ok, but i am so sleepy from it, also experience nausea and heartburn, but its original purpose(to control the seizures), is effective.

i was giving thiis treatment for my head acks and its not helping with it and i want to know why its not

my daughter was given this medication in place of depakote.She had been taking it since october 2008. since being on it she has had burst of out rage, uncontrollable bloody noses, no period. It's still affect for the seizures. but the side effects are terrible and now i have to fight the insurance company to get the brand name drug back for her. I am very disappointed in what this drug has done to my 14yr old child and wouldn't recommend anyone putting a child on it.

After a year on Topamax, recently stopped using it because the side effects had changed from bothersome and annoying to serious. Have been on Divalproex for 5 weeks. Have had lots of headaches and migraines in that short time, and my hair is falling out like crazy :( Doc decided it's time to try a third med. Prescribed Amitriptyline, but I'm concerned I'll have some of the same side effects (crazy heart rate/trouble breathing/blurred vision) that made me end Topamax after reading reviews. Help!Read More Read Less
