[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 336818, member: 1963"] I was told that ceasing to take any anti-seizure medication can cause seizures even in people who don't have seizure disorders. In fact; I had a couple of dandy seizures when I was in the hospital 5 years ago and was unable to tell people what medications I was on before they managed to get in touch with my psychiatrist. Turns out that all it took was not getting my Depakote on schedule. Scared the heck out of us and I have no seizure disorder. That said, I have noticed a drop in cognitive function since going on the medication. It's a trade off for me. Without Depakote I cannot function at anything close to normal. I'd take Lamictal if I could, but I started to hallucinate from it while titrating the dosage up. Great medication for a lot of people (My BiPolar (BP) sister does very well on it), but that's how it is. [/QUOTE]
