Dr. Gould,
Depakote was not prescribed to me for preventing seizures. It was prescribed to prevent other symptoms I have from the withdrawal, the main goal being to up the GABA in my system that is being compromised by the valium and klonopin withdrawal. I am wondering if this is an effective med for withdrawal symptoms and if it is a safe med to take. I understand it is hell on the liver and GI tract.
Thank you.
Tom
the depakote is used to prevent any seizure withdrawal symptoms, and if used for a short covering period, should not be difficult to stop when you are ready.
