 Anticonvulsant May Help Keep Lid on HIV - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today
Depakene, which is used for epilepsy, migraines, and bipolar disorder, reduced the number of infected resting cells by an average of 75% in three of four HIV-infected patients, Dr. Margolis and colleagues reported in the Aug. 13 issue of The Lancet.
After four to six weeks of the intensified treatment, they got oral Depakene twice a day for three months; the dose was adjusted to maintain plasma concentrations of between 50 and 100 mg/L. With one exception, all the patients had sharp declines in the number of infected T-cells, ranging from 68% to greater than 84%.
One possibility is that the Depakene causes the virus to be expressed and the cells to leave their resting state.

She was on the Sprinkle capsules which are 125mg each- what is the concentration of the Depakene liquid- 125 or 150mg per teaspoon(5cc) or something like that?
A far as side effects, she was miserable when we started it- screaming, crying, irritability for about a week, then for a couple days every time dose went up, but once that passed we saw no major effects.
Nausea and vomiting is a possible side effect of depakote- if the Depakene seems to cause that for Maranda, you may want to ask about the Sprinkles- the neuro said those are easier on the stomach and more time-released than the liquid.
