Hi Nancy: Don't know about the verap but I was on depakote (500mg for about 5 weeks and 1000mg for about 2 weeks) and never did get a rash. The only thing the depakote did for me was make me stupid. Really. I can't speak very well. I knew what I wanted to say but it just didn't come out! Also, I was very clumsy. No rash though.
Glad you're PF. wishing you all PFDAN always, Linda T.

Nancy,
I've told you before, against swollen ankles compression stockings could help.

Maybe you should talk to your doc. I know at least one of the the prescriptions I've been on lately warned against swelling ankles (can't remember if it was verapamil), and just about all medications warn about a rash. You might be having an allergic reaction. Hope you find the answer without comprimising your PFDs...

Well... Please be careful... I had a bad reaction to a med once, that I ignored, continued taking it, and think it tried to kill me. Luckily I stopped taking it before it did any permanent damage... Uhhhh... What was I sayin' again...
