Hi,
Thanks for posting your query. I am happy to address your questions, when various medications are taken together, it is possible to develop negative drug interactions. With divalproex, drug interactions may potentially occur if the drug is combined with aspirin, phenytoin, phenobarbital, or topiramate, among other medicines but nothing much with regards with paroxetine. Side-effects of medications varies from each patient. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help. Thanks
