Comments from related studies:

• From this study (1 week ago):

After taking Depakote for several years the side effects seemed to take over my life. I was then diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and have a lot of pain, confusion, and fatique. I fear that the drug did something to my body's chemistry.

• From this study (2 weeks ago):

On depakote ER for 3 months for CPS onset incident to mild TBI from close proximity high ordinance detonation (combat). Closed head concussion, secondary blast effect while in armored vehicle. Depakote caused negative behavioral swings, at worst resulting in mild rage response and high frustration.

Immediately upon initiation of transition to Vimpat notices improved behavioral results, lowered frustration. During transition increased perception difficulties, including perception lapses - looking for things right in front of me. Just finished transition, going to Vimpat only now.

If you are a male and experiencing fatigue on Suboxone, then have your testosterone levels check-both free and bound testosterone
