> Depakote did the same thing to me at 500mg and my doc said to keep taking it for 6 weeks! I even asked the nurse for an appointment and she said "all I can tell you is he said he wants you to stay on it for 6 weeks." I had an upper respiratory infection and finally called another doc who is a friend and had him call me in an antibiotic.

You're the only other person I've heard about that had this happen, my pdoc thought the idea was ridiculous. Yeah same thing here, upper respiratory infection plus nasty fungal infection. I felt absolutely horrible the entire time.

> I don't know what it is, but many anticonvulsants (Lamictal, Depakote, Topamax) give me a sorethroat and upper respiratory infection.

Lamactil and Dilantin (as a child) didn't do this to me, hmmm. Dilantin did make me feel terrible too but no physical illness that I remember. I just know if I ever get something like that again I'm stopping the med whatever the doctor says.
