Hi,

In this kind of treatment, you take medication every day to prevent future headaches. The seizure medicine Depakote (valproate) is approved for use in preventing headaches and might be the first choice when both headaches and seizures need treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
