Title: Luck with Depekote?
Post by giffy76 on May 27^th, 2005, 10:49am

How many of you have had any luck with Depekote? I think it works for me, I've been pf for 4 days (nock on wood) with some minor shadows, but it took 2 weeks to kick in. Is this normal or is my cycle coming to an end?

I think you'll find that most CH meds take a couple weeks or more to be fully effective. My neuro prescribed Depakote for me. I tapered up over several weeks to 1500mg with no benefit. Like everything else it works for some - not for others. :-/

Hopefully, you are at the end of the last cycle you will ever have.

It didn't help me at all, as a matter of fact it made things worse for me.
