Depakote, or divalproex sodium, is primarily used to treat epilepsy, Bipolar disorder, and migraine prevention. In a normal person without these conditions, taking Depakote can lead to side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, gastrointestinal issues, and potential mood changes. It may also alter liver function or blood platelet levels, which could pose health risks even in individuals without pre-existing conditions. Therefore, its use should be closely monitored by a healthcare professional.
