"i started on depakote by my new neurologist. i&#039;ve had bad depressions and bipolar attacks, but about 2 yrs ago i started having seizures. this new neurologist took me off of all my medicines and just put me on a low dose of depakote. i&#039;ve been seizure free and much happier in general. the only things are the constant snacking and i seem to catch colds and flus easier. any advice about that?"
