Depakote, or divalproex sodium, primarily affects the brain by increasing the availability of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter. It modulates neurotransmitter release and stabilizes electrical activity in the brain, which is particularly beneficial in treating conditions like epilepsy and Bipolar disorder. The drug impacts various brain regions, including the cortex and limbic system, which are involved in mood regulation and seizure activity.

Do you get high on Depakote?

Although Depakote is sometimes used by people as a substitute for street drugs, this is not that common. It works by slowing the brain's activity. It does not repair neurotransmitters - neurotransmitters are chemicals that help brain cells "talk" to each other. ___________________________________________ No, it is impossible to get high off of Depakote, as all it does is repair damaged Neurotransmitters in the brain.
