| | Epilepsy Foundation eCommunities Forums - Just started depakene/depakote....what should/can we expect? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) |
 | | 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. |
