How does depakote work in the blood stream?
Depakote (Divalproex) is a anti-convulsant. It is usually prescribed for persons who are Bipolar(Manic Depression), or a similar illness. It is sometimes prescribed for people who experience chronic migraine headaches.
Answerdepakote is also used for seisure control,the shaking of Parkinsons disease and also the leg cramps and pain of nerve damage due to Diabetes
AnswerDepakote is believed to work by enhancing the actions of natural brain chemical, GABA gamma amminobutyric acid. Gaba is a neurotransmitter that carries messages between brain nerve cells. Gaba inhibits the transmission of these signals and it reduces nervous excitation.
It also treats other conditions like anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, sleep disorders, preventing migraine headaches, and reducing chronic pain, neuropathic pain.
It can make you gain serious weight. But that is one of the most common side effects, and reasons why most people stop taking it. You should get regular blood tests while taking Depakote, to monitor liver function, and blood cells. Skin and hair problems are common. Hair loss is common too.
AnswerDepakote is a medication used to treat several things. Treating mania associated with bipolar disorder, to treat complex partial seizures and absence seizures in epilepsy, and for prevention of migraine headaches, panic disorder, rages/aggression. Anticonvulsants can be used to treat other painful conditions such as, postherpetic neuralgia. They are also used to treat chronic pain, the exact way in which they reduce the pain is not known, they may block the flow of pain signals from the central nervous system. How it works with bipolar disorder is that it's a mood stabalizer. It increases the amount of GABA in the brain. When you nerve signals and receptors are not regulated properly by the natural chemical in the brain called GABA your nerve cells can't communicate with each other. When GABA is released in the brain, it acts as a stabalizer keeping the coating on the cells, allowing them to communicate and not get over stimulated. Depakote prevents a breakdown of GABA in the brain. Allowing more stability for nerve cell communication. Basically GABA is a natural calming chemical,it helps keep your brain cells functioning properly. If your GABA levels are low, or

What does Christianity say about suffering?
The gospels show Jesus alleviating the suffering of the sick and infirm. However, they are somewhat ambivalent about the suffering of the poor. Matthew 11:5 tells how "The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them." Mark 14:7 says, "For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good." Christianity has a long and proud history of caring for the sick. However, unlike the suffering of the sick and infirm, the suffering of the poor seems to be regarded as incurable, although the disciples were enjoined to do what they could for them.
If I understand your question, Can you run a 110 appliance off of a 220 volt outlet? You could by only using one leg of the 220. You may also consider changing the outlet. Put in a regular 110 outlet and capping off one leg of the 220 in the wall box. You still have a neutral and a ground to work with. I read this as the questioner doesn't want to modify the outlet. Check the voltage ratings on the device. Many electronic devices nowadays can havdle 120V or 240V as it is cheaper to manufacture one powersupply and sell it everywhere. If your device is rated for 240V, you can put a 240V plug on it. If it only says 120V, no dice. 240V will burn it up.
What are some famous quotes or poems about migraine?

Is it possible for a smoker to have a non cancerous tumor?
Yes. I too unfortunately am a smoker. Smokers have been blamed from everything from the boil on one's butt to the mystery of ALL diseases. Other things in our environment can cause cancer as well (they know little about cancer after all these years) and some medications such as HRT can cause breast cancer as well. In Canada there was a news broadcast just about that very thing.
Still, smoking is not good for anyone and hopefully I hope to quit if I can. It's tough and I may not win, but I have to try.
There are many tumors in the body not related to cancer, but please, go and see your doctor and get it checked out. Letting it go gives you plenty of worry (probably needless) and if it should be cancer you want to catch it early.
Can Tylenol and Excedrin Migraine be taken together?
No. You should check the ingredients in the Excedrin Migraine. Two tablets contain 500 mg of aspirin and 500 mg of acetaminophen plus 65 mg of caffeine. You should not take more aspirin. It can cause stomach bleeding. If that dose is ineffective perhaps you should be evaluated by a neurologist and try to find a prescription drug to treat your migraines. There are several extremely ones available.
Should Straterra be taken in the morning mid-day or both?
If you are currently taking Straterra twice daily, as I am, you may need to try different times during the day. After I experimented, I found that I enjoy longer uninterrupted sleep if I take one dose at bedtime or a couple of hours before and take one dose in the morning. I tried taking a dose mid day and it would keep me focused longer, but I did not get the sleep results I desired and a good night's sleep was more important to me. After doing some research on Straterra I would say you should talk to your Dr. about increasing the mg she is taking. Check out Straterra.com and it will help you out alot. You should talk to your doctor about increasing the dose. An initial dose midday might allow her to complete her homework and be more engaged at school. My 8yrold weighs 40 pounds and takes the same 20mg dose. About the bedtime dose.. Not all children get drowsy on Straterra. A bedtime dose helps some children sleep. My son didnt sleep throught the night until he was 6. He now takes Clonidine for that.(He also has Tourettes and that takes care of both)

Some with migraines do wear glasses. But a headache caused by bad vision is not the same as headaches caused by migraines. If you need glasses and don't have them, you might get a headache, and you can get headaches if your prescription is wrong.
Have you talked to a doctor about this problem? If not, it's the only way you will find out.

And it could be very simple. In my case, I'm absent minded and always distracted.

What does your senses are heightened mean?
In terms of migraines, it means your senses of sight, smell, and sometimes touch are increased - causing great discomfort. The eyes become sensitive to light, increasing pain. The nose can become overwhelmed by the smallest odor, causing an increase in nausea. For some people, to touch the skin on the side of the head which is in pain becomes impossible to tolerate, brushing the hair - an exercise in torture.
