Started Depakote 250 MG twice a day and O2 about the same time. O2 at about 10L/min helped abort, but (I assume it was the Depakote) I went from 1 - 3 10s a day to about 10 -14 6s. Not a very good trade. I have taken the Depakote for two weeks and used 5L/min of O2 all night each night (from a machine called a "concentrator." During acute attacks back up to 10-12 L/min of the O2.
RESULT: After two weeks, no headaches. Only mild shadow once every other day or so. Shortest cluster (and probably mildest) in 25 years! May all of you find something as good and may it last forever!
QUESTION: Those taking Depakote; how long do you stay on it and what are the long term hazards?
Freedom from pain for all! peace
