Hey --
After a few months on Depakote, I've been slowly having more migraines. I've heard that this happens to others.
My current dose is quite low, 500 mgs. My dr. suggested upping the dose, but I resisted because I always like to use as little medication as possible.
One concern I'm having is that I'm having some word-finding problems lately. I'm not sure if the problems are from the Depakote or the migraines, though I can say that I had them _before_ the migraines. Nonetheless, I worry that increasing the dose will increase the negative symptoms.
Has anyone had more negative symptoms from dose increases, or are they not really dose-related?
I'm making a log book of my migraines and think I will have to increase the dose soon if I start having more than 10 migrainous days a month again.
