> I take Valproic Acid capsules; I believe Valproic Acid is the generic for Depakote. Anyway, these large, soft, gel-capsules must be filled with some oil. After taking one, I end up getting very mild heartburn and when I burp, I taste an oil taste in my throat. Is this normal?

You may need to try the Depakote instead. They won't release the medication until they are in your small intestine. I have reflux problems as well and never had any trouble with either Depakote EC or Sprinkle versions--never tried the generic (uncoated) capsules. Thanks for letting me know about that!
