What Are The Side Effects Of Depakote?

I don t understand why I would be put on a drug that has side effects that I should report of such, many are symptoms I already have. When I reported other ones on Depakote that I was on at first, none were taken serious and I was instructed to continue an increase dosage till I heard a train sound in my head so loud I could hardly hear myself or anything else along with vomiting so harshly that I was pouring sweat. Is there a list of symptoms as far as side effects that are more notable than others for Zonegran, or should I stop taking it right when some start? Who would be good to go to since my own doc doesn t take it serious?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You have been put on depakot because your doctor felt that you need it. This medication is used to treat seizure disorders, certain psychiatric conditions (manic phase of bipolar disorder), and to prevent migraine headaches. It works by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain. Talk to your doctor regarding this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand
