child's epilepsy

Hello! My daughter is 13 yrs old and had 8 epileptic seizures from 4 yrs old. There is no etiology for these seizures. She's on Depakine caps(200mg) at the moment and although she hasn't had a seizure since she's on medication, she has minor episodes of excessive salivation, dizziness and oral disorders leaving her with a horrible headache. Please tell me what could cause these "minor" symptoms?

Hi.

These are most likely to be the side effects of Depakine. You may consult the neurologist and consider changing the medicine.
