How Long Should I Take Valprid Cr500 For Extreme Fear?
Hi! My husband experienced feeling of extreme fear for a few seconds....for many yrs which lead to absence seizure....kind if epileptic attack.we consulted the neurosurgeon who prescribed valprid cr 500 for 3yrs. My husband stopped the med. After2.5yrs....again he experienced the feeling of extreme fear after about 10-15days. The doc.asked him to continue the med with tetrafol plus (for 1 mnth). My query is whether he should continuethe med valprid cr500 for 6 mnths or again for 3yrs.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In think, he may have anxiety attack. In that case, you should consult a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis. In anxiety disorder, you need antidepressant rather than valproate. If he has seizure disorder, then he needs valproate for next three years. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
