Migraine Prevention
"I have been on Depakote ER for three weeks.  I&#039;ve had 4 migraines during this time, which is less than before the Depakote ER.  My GP had me on three different medicines for prevention but the neurologist switched me to Depakote ER.  I&#039;ve had a little weight gain. The problem is I&#039;m on weight watchers and should be losing weight. There have been times where my hands have felt shaky (similar to too much caffeine intake).  I think its also effecting my vision. I&#039;m going to call the doctor and ask to switch to something else. Basically its helped reduced my migraine frequency but not enough to live with the side effects."
