Bethe,
The nausea is definitely a side effect of Depakote, especially at that dose. The other symptoms are also adverse reactions to the Depakote. Again, alert your MD to the symptoms you are experiencing. If your CH is not improving and you are experiencing many adverse reactions, perhaps your medications should be altered. Remember, you are the only one who knows how you feel. Make your MD listen or find a new one.
There are still many medications that may be a possibility for you. If you haven't seen a Headache specialist...perhaps this is a great opportunity. I know it is difficult to hear at times but there is hope. There is always hope for the right combination of medications that will help us.
Wishing you the best and pain-free days,
irene
