Depakote is an anti-seizure drug that many here had used. Sometimes they prescribe a lot of the stuff. Others here can tell you more about its effects of CH.
Glad to have you aboard.

I've tried epilim two years ago, but just like the topomax, it gave me terrible mood swings and depression although it worked for a while.
Now on verapamil, ergotamine and imitrex with O2 on the side.
Hope you find the right combination for you.
