Depakote

typically annually while you are already in for liver blood tests.

Tell the doctor immediately if you experience weight gain. I had this happen to me with Seroquel.

You can measure bacteria in nano grams as only 1,000,000,000 nano grams are in 1 gram ,so that you might not even be able to see the object what you weighing in nano gram.

No, it doesn't. It's a common medication used for Manic Depression and epilepsy.

I don't know much about depakote, but unless this nine year old weighs about 300 pounds, 30mg of daytrana is FAR too much. Im 18 years old, 5'8 and around 160, and even 20 mg for me is too much- i went down to 15. Daytrana is a patch, so it delivers the drug (Ritalin; a stimulant almost congruent to amphetamine) directly into the blood. Even though it is in a controlled amount ( 1-4 mg per hour), the effects of Daytrana are more noticeable and intense than pretty much any other kind of Ritalin. I don't know this 9 year old kid, but i know that Ritalin affects everyone in almost the same way, and 30 mg in a patch-form is extremely high. A good alternative to daytrana is concerta, in which the 36 mg dose would be more than safe for this kid. 30 mg daytrana patches have about 80 mg of Ritalin on them, so if he accidentally left it on for too long, it could get dangerous.

I was prescribed Depakote a few years ago for supposed manic depression. I did have a huge loss of appetite the first month of taking it and lost 12 pounds; after the first month though, I had a normal appetite and gained it all back.

How gullible are the people on your street?

Depakote is useful for epileptics, and as a mood stabilizer, it's more of an "anti-drug" than a recreational drug.

Klonopin, you might find a few customers. It's a fairly good tranquilizer; 2 mg pretty much knocks me out.

And Risperdal is the closest thing to a placebo that's ever been invented. It doesn't do anything for the people it's prescribed for, so how likely is it to do something for someone healthy?

You might get $5 or $10 for a Klonipin 1 mg, but I'm thinking that $2 for a 2mg Klonopin is more likely.

yes.

It should be replaced 15 days prior to major hemorragic surgeries like spine fusion or very delicate ones (some plastic repairs, etc.) with another anti-seizure prescription.

no, they are the same drug just different release profile.

No.

I can find no such pill, give more detail. Color, shape, capsule, tablet etc.

Double check info.

No idea, but I bet it burns the nose!

My Mother has been on Depakote (treating agitation due to dementia) for at least 2-3 years. She was recently taken off of this drug. I was under the impression that she would have to be weaned from this drug, but was told that it was not necessary. So far, so good. I think she has reached a point in the disease that these drugs are no longer necessary. She seems a little more with it and hopefully, not as sleepy. This may also be a reason why she is always so cold, but she is also diabetic.

Antacids should not normally be taken with other medicines.

Yes, there is no problem.

I don't see why not. If that bi polar person learns how to control their emotions and focus on one thing at a time, everything should be fine.

Yes, it is possible to discontinue Depakote (valproate), but it should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Abruptly stopping the medication can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a return of the condition being treated, such as seizures or mood instability. A doctor may recommend a gradual tapering of the dosage to minimize risks. Always consult with a healthcare provider before making any changes to medication.

Mixing alcohol with Depakote (divalproex sodium) and procyclidine can lead to increased side effects and heightened risks. Alcohol can exacerbate the central nervous system effects of Depakote, such as dizziness, drowsiness, and impaired coordination, increasing the risk of accidents. Additionally, procyclidine, an anticholinergic medication, may also enhance the sedative effects of alcohol, leading to severe drowsiness or confusion. It's crucial to consult a healthcare professional before combining these substances.

Ambien (zolpidem) and Depakote (valproate) can be prescribed together, but it's important to consult a healthcare provider before combining them. Both medications can affect the central nervous system, potentially increasing the risk of side effects such as sedation, dizziness, and impaired coordination. Always follow your doctor’s guidance and report any unusual symptoms if you are prescribed both medications.

To treat hair loss caused by Depakote (valproate), it's important to consult your healthcare provider first. They may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to an alternative medication if appropriate. Additionally, treatments such as topical minoxidil or supplements like biotin may help promote hair growth. It's essential to address the underlying cause and follow professional medical advice tailored to your specific situation.

Yes, Depakote (valproate) can cause hallucinations as a rare side effect. While it is primarily used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorder, some individuals may experience unusual psychiatric symptoms, including hallucinations, especially during dosage adjustments or if they have a history of mental health issues. If hallucinations occur, it's important to consult a healthcare professional promptly.
