Yes, ibuprofen can be taken in conjunction with Depakote as long as it is an over the counter brand. If it is an ibuprofen that is mixed with a form of narcotic pain medication, it can not be taken with Depakote.
No, depakote has no effect on anxiety.
yes you can take depakote while driving. I take depakote for seizures, however if you are diagnosed with epilepsy it is a good idea to not drive for 60 days so the medicine has time do control your condition.
it lowers the Seizure threshold! Consult a Doctor!
You need to consult your doctor in this. Keppra can be taken if you must but they don't know the effect on the fetus.
Yes. I think.
No it is not safe at all. ASK YOUR DOCTOR TO SEE WHAT CAN YOU TAKE WHILE PREGNANT OR TRYING TO GET PREGNANT. I was prescribed Keppra and was fine with it I agree completely. My husband and I saw a specialist to ask about medications while trying to get pregnant and he suggested that Keppra was a good choice; while there are MANY studies that show a huge risk for women taking Depakote during pregnancy and conception.
Dilantin , Tegretol and phenobarbital are three of the original drugs used. today drugs like depakote, topomax and Keppra are used frequently and have been more effective than Dilantin. There are side effects from topomax that can cause anxiety attacks and perspiring to occur. Depakote has been proven to cause significant weight gain in many users. Keppra has not caused any significant side effects I'm aware of. Some of these drugs are also used for psychiatric purposes. Depakote also caused a patient to be lethargic.
yes it can
Yes it was first prescribed for seizures, and later for Bipolar disorder. Answer I have epilepsy and take 2 500mg pills a day. Has helped me but can be used with other epilepsy medications to help improve the loss of seizures. I am also on Lamictal and Keppra.
Yes. I am sensitive to medicine and I take 250 mg of depakote a day. and it seems to work fine.
Depakote is normally taken for seizures. So if your depakote level is low that means you need more in your system to keep you from having a seizure. It is also used for bi-polar disorder.
