Drug Details
Divalproex, also known as Depakote, is a prescription medication primarily used to manage seizure disorders, treat the manic phase of bipolar disorder, and prevent migraine headaches. It functions by restoring the balance of natural substances in the brain, specifically by increasing levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a chemical that helps prevent excessive brain activity and seizures. Divalproex is available in various forms, including delayed-release and extended-release tablets, as well as sprinkle capsules, and is usually taken once or twice daily. It is important not to stop taking this medication suddenly, as it may lead to withdrawal symptoms and increase the risk of seizures. While taking Divalproex, some individuals may experience changes in weight. Always consult with a healthcare professional for advice tailored to your health needs.
