Does anyone have any experience with this? My new head doc put me on this today. I havn't tried it yet, but as many of you know, I've been on and off pills and drugs for many years, and the battle never seems to end.
The side effects seem hardcore, but I'm going to try the samples out and see if it helps me. Anyone have any advice or feedback?

Oh No...I don't like this:
So, what can you expect from the valproate meds?
Instant middle age, no matter how old you are. Suddenly you'll be old.
* You'll get fat.
* You'll go bald, or your hair will thin or change in some way.
* You'll always have heartburn, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain or similar stomach complaints.
* You'll be tired all the time.
* Your hearing won't be as good as it used to be.
* You'll have the shakes a lot. Gee, and this is an anticonvulsant?
* Your liver will hate you.
* You just won't feel that sexual any more. As if all the the above weren't enough to turn you off, valproates and other anticonvulsants mess with your testosterone.
