Hi,

You are in fact putting your child to risk by withdrawing the sodium valpro ( epilim). She might land up on complications asso with withdrawal. She is showing the same signs to you now.

Please go back to the doctor and re take the prescriptions. She might need a different dosage. I do not think there is anything hat can replace your child's health. The problem can be potentially fatal. The doctor can instead prescribe you a lower cost brand which can help your pocket.
