For What Is The Medication Divalproex Prescribed?
I am concerned about a prescription I just had filled. They are called Divalproex. It looks like a giant piece of chalk and for me suspect that it is likely placebo and not at all the generic of what my Dr. Prescribed. Can you please share with me what you know about this medication?

Hi,
It is a medication generally used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorders especially the manic phase. If it is not meant for you, you should certainly discuss it with your physician as it has a few side effects that shouldn't be ignored.
